To accommodate all attendees\, programming will take place both at Bethel and their neighboring church\, Elim Missionary Assembly Church.  \n\n\n\nWe thank both for their hospitality and welcome. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTravel & Transportation\n\n\n\nAirports – The closest airports to General Assembly are Miami International Airport (about 30 minutes away) and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (about an hour away.)  \n\n\n\nCar rentals – The group hotels are 10-20 minutes away from our gathering site. Congregations are encouraged to coordinate travel with others in their region to share car rental costs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch Before General Assembly\n\n\n\nTo help prepare all attendees for what to expect at General Assembly this year\, Alan Robinson (national director) has recorded a series of three videos to help us prepare. We strongly encourage all attendees to watch in advance.  \n\n\n\nVideo 1 \n\n\n\nHave you ever wondered why we gather for General Assembly? In this video\, Alan explains the purpose of General Assembly and introduces us to this year’s theme. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Our Theme – Multiplica\n\n\n\n\nAs Jesus ascended into heaven\, he told his disciples that they would be his witnesses locally and globally. (Acts 1:8) Likewise\, our congregations are called to impact and invest in their own communities. \n\n\n\nOur theme for General Assembly 2026 will be Multiplica\, Spanish for “multiply.” This is the first time Spanish has been used for the theme for General Assembly\, and we did this for two key reasons: \n\n\n\nFirst\, Multiplica captures the energy and growth the BIC U.S. is experiencing in Spanish-language congregations across the United States. \n\n\n\nSecond\, it is directly tied to priority three of Project 250: multiplying missional congregations\, movements\, and leaders. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGeneral Assembly 2026 will invite us to explore ways to strengthen and multiply our leaders\, congregations\, and ministries so that people will be drawn into a lifelong relationship of knowing\, loving and following Jesus. \n\n\n\n\nVideo 2 \n\n\n\nAlan shares the recommended amendments to the Manual of Doctrine and Government (MDG) that will be discussed at General Assembly this year. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVideo 3 \n\n\n\nThis final video follows up on some discussions from the 2024 General Assembly\, and Alan explains why some proposed changes to the MDG will be remaining the same. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions?\n\n\n\nContact Tammie Gitt\, administrative coordinator\, at tgitt@bicus.org.

SUMMARY:Reading with Jesus: A Brethren in Christ Approach to Biblical Hermeneutics - Impact Seminar\, Cristo Vive BIC
DESCRIPTION:The Brethren in Christ hold several positions which make us stick out from the wider society and even from many of our fellow Christians. For instance\, we hold to a peace position that takes preparation for or participation in war to be inconsistent with the teachings of Christ\, and we have an understanding of God’s intentions for human sexual difference that leads us both to ordain women and to maintain a traditional understanding of marriage. Not many groups have quite this mix of commitments! \n\n\n\nAre we just quirky? Perhaps we are! But there’s a profound reason for our quirkiness… we are convinced that these positions are scriptural. It is in reading Scripture together that we have come to these views and it is to Scripture we must return as we wrestle with these and other questions today. \n\n\n\nTo that end this seminar will offer an exploration of biblical hermeneutics from a Brethren in Christ perspective aimed at illuminating some of our distinctive commitments. At its core\, the presented approach understands Jesus to be both the teacher who opens the Bible for us and the one whose face can be recognized on every page once we have acquired eyes to see. \n\n\n\nThis is a free event\, but registration is required at least one week before a seminar begins.

SUMMARY:Reading with Jesus: A Brethren in Christ Approach to Biblical Hermeneutics - Impact Seminar\, Upland BIC
DESCRIPTION:The Brethren in Christ hold several positions which make us stick out from the wider society and even from many of our fellow Christians. For instance\, we hold to a peace position that takes preparation for or participation in war to be inconsistent with the teachings of Christ\, and we have an understanding of God’s intentions for human sexual difference that leads us both to ordain women and to maintain a traditional understanding of marriage. Not many groups have quite this mix of commitments! \n\n\n\nAre we just quirky? Perhaps we are! But there’s a profound reason for our quirkiness… we are convinced that these positions are scriptural. It is in reading Scripture together that we have come to these views and it is to Scripture we must return as we wrestle with these and other questions today. \n\n\n\nTo that end this seminar will offer an exploration of biblical hermeneutics from a Brethren in Christ perspective aimed at illuminating some of our distinctive commitments. At its core\, the presented approach understands Jesus to be both the teacher who opens the Bible for us and the one whose face can be recognized on every page once we have acquired eyes to see. \n\n\n\nThis is a free event\, but registration is required at least one week before a seminar begins.
