Who should register?
Churches will select their delegates and alternates, often at their annual meetings in January. Those delegates and alternates will then need to register for diocesan convention. If you have any questions about convention, please contact the diocesan office.

Each congregation is allotted delegates based on its average Sunday attendance from two years prior (for 2025, it is based on 2023 ASA).
