2024 Arizona-California District Convention
Convention Description
The 35th Biennial Convention of the Arizona-California District of the WELS will be held June 10-12, 2024, at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Scottsdale Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. All pastors and male teachers and staff ministers are to be in attendance, along with one lay delegate from each congregation. Those who are unable to attend may excuse to the district secretary, Pastor Steven Gabb (steve@hopelosangeles.com).
The purpose of the convention is to be a voice of the district. Each district reacts and responds to the information communicated in the Report to the Twelve Districts (RttTD). The actions that are taken at the district convention are relayed to the synod, to be addressed at the synod convention the following year. When combined with the voices of the other eleven districts, a consensus of the synod is achieved. As such, much of the platform for the succeeding synod convention has been formulated and discussed on the grass roots level at the district conventions.
Memorials (requests for action or resolution by the district convention) may be submitted to the district secretary up until May 7, 2024. Memorials will be assigned to a floor committee for consideration and possible resolution to the convention. Use this template to format your memorial prior to submission.
