Save the Date – Assembly 2026
You've probably heard by now that our new, conference-wide event Assembly is happening July 2–5, 2026 at Millersville University in Millersville PA! We are excited to host this new event for EVERYONE who is a part of LMC. Together, we will celebrate the work of God among us and mobilize for God's mission beyond us.
In addition to the event, we will have a youth conference that will run concurrently with the wider Assembly. This is a great opportunity for youth groups to come together and meet other youth from across our conference.
We will have more information coming soon. Stay on the lookout for early bird registration! | | | Share Your Story
Story-telling is powerful; after all, sharing the Gospel—the greatest story of all—is at the heart of what we do as Christ-followers. If you have a story related to LMC, we'd love to hear it! Share online at our website. | | | Register Your Leaders for Fall Leadership Assembly!
