To provide the safest possible meeting, all participants are expected to be fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19 to attend General Synod. All General Synod proceedings will be limited to registered participants, with no in-person observers; a video stream of the plenary sessions will be available on this page during and following General Synod.
What began as a season of prayer in the month leading up to General Synod 2021 is now continuing after synod. Each month, people from across the RCA gather virtually for a Zoom prayer meeting to seek God’s guidance for the Reformed Church in America. These prayer gatherings take place on the third Friday of each month; anyone who wishes to pray for the RCA is welcome. Register to learn more and get the Zoom link.
