Program Description

Guided by the passionate Ministries and Faith Development Staff Group, this service is a heartfelt tribute to our esteemed fellowshipped and credentialed religious leaders. It's a time to reflect on those who have left an indelible mark, celebrate the accomplishments of those who have completed their service, and warmly embrace the talented individuals who have recently received fellowship or credentialed status. As we come together, we'll also contribute to the Living Tradition Fund, making a real impact.

As in past years, the collection from the service benefits the Living Tradition Fund, which provide scholarships, debt reduction grants, and financial assistance in times of need to seminarians, ministers, religious professionals, other congregational staff at the local level, as well as retired ministers and their loved ones. Donate to the Living Tradition Fund.

The Service of the Living Tradition (SLT) is Thursday, June 19, 2025 at 7:00 pm ET / 6:00 pm CT / 5:00 pm MT / 4:00 pm PT. Registration for GA is required to attend in person or access the online experience.
