Go Deeper: General Synod 35 Companion Resources

General Synod 35 meets in Kansas City from July 11-15, 2025. We assemble in order to worship, conduct business, take prophetic action, reunite with siblings in Christ, connect with the wider church, and so much more. While delegates and visitors attend the gathering onsite, some elements, such as worship, will be livestreamed so that the fullness of the United Church of Christ may gather. We offer these companion resources that invite us to Go Deeper during and beyond General Synod.

The resources on this page are licensed for individual and local church use. Content is still being added.
