CELEBRATE! : A Gathering of Virginia Nazarenes Celebrating Mission and Ministry

A joint District Assembly, NMI and SDMI Convention event, called “CELEBRATE! 2021” is planned for July 27th & 28th from about noon on the 27th to 4:30PM on the 28. Starting at 1:15PM on Tuesday (Check-In starts at 11AM). This unified event includes District Assembly, NMI and SDMI business and inspiration. CELEBRATE! 2021 will be held at the Virginia Nazarene Retreat Center (VNRC) in beautiful Buckingham, VA.

All pastors, associates, elected delegates are members of this gathering and invited (expected) to participate. Starting at 1:15PM on Tuesday, July 27th (Check-In starts at 11AM), we will have the business of the SDMI Convention, the NMI Convention and the District Assembly in four sessions (2 on Tuesday, 2 on Wednesday, including the Ordination Service which will be on Wednesday afternoon at 2:30PM).

When first drafted plans were made for District Assembly we thought that the use of the DAC might be helpful, but we have always preferred that the delegation conduct all the business, including: inspiration, education, networking, ordination and balloting/elections. Thankfully, the pandemic restrictions have been lifted and we are able to meet in a manner more closely to “normal”. The capacity of the Keys Tabernacle seating is approximately 800. There are no seating capacity or social distancing limitations currently in place.

We Hope To See You at the 2021 District Assembly!
