2024 professional church workers convocation


Monday november 25- Tuesday November 26

Registration for the 2024 Professional Church Workers Convocation is now open! We're so thankful that you are considering joining us, and your Eastern District staff is joyfully anticipating our growth and fellowship together in Jesus' name at this event. We haven't gathered for a PCWC since 2017! The 'new and improved' 2024 version has been constructed to provide you with uplifting worship and devotional opportunities, excellent speakers, comfortable accommodations in a beautiful and centralized setting, and professional breakouts that fit your ministry needs; all within a manageable timeframe. Gathering together in the Word as His Called and dedicated servants in ministry in the Eastern District is a blessing to all - in fellowship, and as we return afterward to our respective mission fields.

In addition to the conference, all attendees are invited to join us for a tour of the beautiful Corning Museum of Glass before the conference begins. The tour is included in the price of the conference. If you would like to book additional experiences at the museum, you can visit the museum's website here
