General Synod 35 sponsors offer generous contributions to those gathering in Kansas City

When the United Church of Christ gathers in Kansas City this coming July 11-15 for General Synod 35, there will be many generous donors to thank for making it happen. Through these partnerships, UCC members, colleagues, and national staff will gather for inspirational worship and fellowship, engaging youth activities, and plenaries that lift issues that demand a faithful witness.

Once again, the five UCC financial ministries have joined to pledge a large chunk of those contributions at $65,000. Great thanks go to the Church Building & Loan Fund, Cornerstone Fund, Insurance Board, the Pension Boards and United Church Funds.  The UCC financial ministries have a long history of providing resources and services to help protect and grow churches, and they have stepped up once again as we go “Into the Deep,” the theme of this year’s Synod.

Representatives of the financial ministries will be present during Synod, with exhibits, learning opportunities and more. Attendees will be able to discover the many different services, resources and programs that they each offer.

Grateful to our partners

“We are grateful to our partners and champions for their continued commitment to the United Church of Christ. Sponsor funding for General Synod is an important supporting component to offering this extraordinary and inspiring event,” said Michelle Carver, director of philanthropy for the UCC National Ministries. “We are excited to engage with everyone as together we explore Into the Deep at Synod in July.”
