(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\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\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\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\nWe will be hosted by Iglesia Cristiana Bethel BIC with our programming taking place both at Bethel and at their neighboring church\, Elim Missionary Assembly Church. We thank both for their hospitality and welcome.  \n\n\n\nFind address and directions at the bottom of this page. \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.
