ASSEMBLY INFO
ABOUT
In 1906 a group of nearly two dozen delegates came together on a snowy January day in North Carolina to accomplish what has remained the commitment of a Church of God General Assembly ever since. On July 27-31, 2026, delegates from around the world will come together in Orlando, Florida to worship, fellowship, and conduct business of the Church of God.
This will be the 80th time the Church of God has staged a General Assembly. There will be something for everyone, whether you are a minister or layperson.
EVENT LOCATION
The 2026 General Assembly will be hosted at the Orange County Convention Center - WEST, one of the largest and most versatile convention facilities in the United States. Located in the heart of Orlando, the OCCC offers state-of-the-art meeting spaces, modern technology, and easy access to hotels, dining, and transportation, making it an ideal setting for worship, connection, and the important work of the Assembly.
