Time 10:00am - 4:00pm
Location Assembly Buildings, Belfast
Price Free to attend

Drawing together men and women from PCI’s 500-plus congregations from across Ireland, they will meet in general assembly to debate and take decisions prayerfully and jointly that can often shape the Church’s ministry and future. With times of worship and teaching, it is also a time when the Church gives voice collectively to the concerns of many people within and outside of the Church.

The four-day meeting will take place in Assembly Buildings in central Belfast and will be open to the public, who can watch proceedings from the public gallery. It will also be livestreamed. You can find more information here on The General Assembly Hub, which includes news, reports and business (when available), will be posted.
