Every four years, the Church of the Nazarene gathers from around the world for General Assembly & Conventions. This global gathering brings together pastors, delegates, missionaries, ministry leaders, and members from every world region to worship together, seek God's direction, celebrate His faithfulness, and participate in the decisions that help shape the future of the Church of the Nazarene.
The 31st General Assembly & Conventions will be held June 25–July 2, 2027, at the Kansas City Convention Center in Kansas City, Missouri. Under the theme "In Jesus' Name," Nazarenes from around the world will unite in worship, prayer, fellowship, learning, and ministry as we celebrate what God is doing through our global church.
Whether you attend as a delegate or simply as a participant, you'll experience inspiring worship services, reports of God's work around the world, leadership training, ministry conventions, fellowship with believers from every world region, and the joy of worshiping alongside our worldwide Nazarene family.

Why Attend?
General Assembly is far more than a conference—it's an opportunity to experience the Church of the Nazarene as a truly global family. Gathering alongside thousands of believers from more than 165 world areas reminds us that we are part of something much bigger than our local church or district. Together we worship, pray, learn, serve, celebrate what God is doing around the world, and recommit ourselves to making Christlike disciples in the nations.
Whether you're planning to attend in person or participate online, we encourage you to begin praying now for this historic gathering and for all those who will help lead our denomination into the next chapter of ministry.
We hope many from the Central California District will make plans to join us in Kansas City as we gather In Jesus' Name!
