2026 Assembly Registration is now open

The 2026 South Carolina Synod Assembly will be held June 11-13, 2026 at the Brookland Baptist Banquet and Conference Center, West Columbia, SC. Lodging, fellowship opportunities and Bishop’s Art Show will be at the Marriott Columbia, Columbia, SC. The travel distance between these locations is less than 3 miles.

Our Theme: “Created to Create”

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 2:10, where Paul writes, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works…”

Scripture shows that God creates, and then makes humanity in His image to be fellow creators. From the command to tend the Garden in Genesis to the call to good works in Ephesians, the message is clear: we are “Created to Create”—to build, innovate, and steward the world in a way that truly brings glory to God. This is core to our purpose.

Join us June 11-13 in Columbia for our 2026 South Carolina Synod Assembly!

In addition to spotlighting ministry stories from our synod, we will be doing the important and holy work of electing a new synod bishop. Even as we prayerfully discern and elect a new bishop, we will be taking time at this Assembly to come together and honor and give thanks to God for the ministry of Bishop Ginny Aebischer.

Some F.A.Q.’s
