What to Expect at Annual Council

Annual Council will be held at the Cathedral of St. Philip in Atlanta. The Council will convene between 8a-4p on Friday and 9a-Noonish on Saturday. 

Youth Delegates receive a badge and voting device at check-in. After worship, they will take their place at the Youth Delegation table (typically at the front of the room) for Bishop to gavel Council into session. Complimentary Starbucks drinks are provided for Youth Delegates both mornings of Council.

During Council, Delegates vote and participate in committees. After Council business concludes on Friday, Youth Delegates have the option of staying at the Cathedral for The Overnight @ Annual Council, our diocesan youth lock-in.

On Saturday morning, Youth Delegates and students from The Overnight will open the Council session with youth-led worship. Afterwards, Delegates will go back into Council business until noonish. They will have the option to help with the Annual Council Service Project after Council concludes and then go home!





After hitting submit, Holle will follow up with you within the week. Thank you for your interest!
