Thank-you for a great couple of days at The Chapel for GLDCON 26!

Look for videos of this year's main sessions to be posted here soon.

GLDCON 27 will take place October 5-6, 2027 at the Barrington Campus of The Orchard in Barrington, IL.

GLDCON is the annual gathering for pastors and ministry leaders of the EFCA's Great Lakes District.

For two days we come together as a family of churches for mutual encouragement, next-step equipping, and renewed commitment to reach our neighbors and the nations with the gospel.

This year we opened the Scriptures together in 2 Timothy. Knowing his life is nearly finished, the Apostle Paul writes to Timothy from a prison cell. Paul knows his race is ending. In this letter, Paul exhorts us to guard the gospel, endure hardship, preach the Word, and raise up leaders who will carry the work forward.
