WHEREAS, It has been studied and discussed for several years to move from a three-year district and Synod convention cycle to a four-year cycle; and
WHEREAS, Such a change would save millions of dollars in district and Synod convention expenses; and
WHEREAS, Moving to a four-year convention cycle would demonstrate a sensitivity to the financial challenges facing many congregations and a commitment to practice wise stewardship; and
WHEREAS, In response to the COVID-19 pandemic some districts and the Synod moved to a four-year convention cycle without great difficulty; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Synod in convention adopt a four-year convention cycle, effective upon completion of the 2026 Synod convention.
