Events
Convocation
Each year we gather for a weekend of fellowship and education to continue our growth as men of God. Convocation allows us time to grow closer to one another, and to our Lord. The weekend includes a dinner where we invite our pastors to join us as a sign of our brotherhood as Deacons. This year's event was held at the Delta Hotel in Northglenn, Colorado, March 13-15, 2026. Convocation for 2027 will again be held at the Delta Hotel, March 5-7, 2027.
