2026 Convention to take place in Winnipeg

Lutheran Church–Canada’s (LCC) Board of Directors has chosen Winnipeg as the host city for 2026’s Synodical Convention. The venue for the convention will be the Victoria Inn Hotel and Convention Centre from Friday, June 12 to Monday, June 15, 2026.

The Convention was last held in the Central Region in 2008 under the theme “Give Jesus Glory – His Calling, Our Praise.” The theme for 2026 has not yet been chosen. 

Over the coming year, the Commission on Constitutional Matters and Structure (CCMS) will meet to confirm the dates required by the LCC Handbook for convention actions leading up to June 2026. In the later part of 2024, the Commission on Nominations and Elections (CNE) will also hold a first meeting to discuss the process of nominations for all positions.

The convention will deal with elections and resolutions during daily plenary sessions, and will also include topical breakout sessions. Pre-event meetings—such as those held by synod board, commissions, and committees—will be organized to prepare resolutions and reports for plenary sessions. Time will also be allotted for worship and hospitality.

Further details of the 2026 convention, including theme, agenda, and registration information will be released on an ongoing basis in The Canadian Lutheran, the LCC email newsletter InfoDigest, and on the convention website which will be launched closer to the meeting date.
