As we gather for assembly, it’s a good time to take stock of all that’s occurring throughout and beyond our synod. We’re building this page as we receive and process reports, so check back often.

Share your story

As we prepare for our 2024 Grand Canyon Synod Assembly, we again ask your help in sharing your story. Send your story to Brian Flatgard, our communications director, at bflatgard@gcsynod.org.

Mission and ministry partners to the Grand Canyon Synod are asked to provide your ministry’s story in a way that works best for you. You can provide us with a written story, photos, audio, video, or a combination of these media. Our only requirement is that the story can be consumed in less than five minutes, with 2-3 minutes being ideal.

Our synod is blessed with many mission and ministry partners. Each year we share around 50 reports, which are far too many to present at an assembly with a full agenda. 

Therefore, we’ll again feature our stories as stand-alone news items in the lead-up to our 2024 assembly. Each story will appear in our blog, Facebook page, and weekly newsletter. We’ll also have an assembly page compiling all our stories.

In creating your story, be creative and be open to the Holy Spirit. Have fun! You can visit our video resource page at http://gcsynod.org/video for tips on filming.

Our theme this year’s events is “Embody the Word.” Bonus points if you can incorporate that into your story. 😊

Please share your story by May 17, 2024. (Earlier is better as we take the time to develop this important resource.)

Thank you for all you do in our synod, and we look forward to hearing and sharing your story.


For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.
— 1 Corinthians 12:12
