LATE REGISTRATION IS NOW IN EFFECT. REGISTER YOUR SPOT TODAY.
Our NEW, biennial gathering of EVERYONE who is a part of LMC: families, congregations, youth groups, and leaders! During Assembly, we will take the opportunity to pause from our normal rhythms, gathering to celebrate God’s work among us, cast vision for the future, and mobilize for mission.
More information about Assembly is being added to this webpage; check back for updates. Register here.
Running concurrently with Assembly, YouthCon will be a special gathering time for all youth across LMC!
We encourage all youth and youth groups to attend! This is an opportunity for youth to make new connections and friends, grow in their walk with Jesus, and be empowered to be the light in their schools and neighborhoods.
YouthCon will join Assembly for the opening and closing worship and plenary sessions, but will have their own tailored schedule the rest of the event.
Isaiah 61: 3, 10-11 — “They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor … For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.”
John 12:20-26 — “… unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.”
The theme of “Sowing Seeds of a Jesus Movement” is drawn from the parable of the sower who scattered seeds widely, trusting that at the right time, some would take root and produce a crop to be harvested. As Spirit-led followers of Jesus, our ultimate allegiance is to him and his ways above all else. In preparing for Assembly 2026, we do so with a strong sense of expectancy for His kingdom to come and His will to be done among us. Our plenary sessions will focus on the five core values of: Delighting in God, Following Jesus, Deepening Surrender, Intercultural Embrace and Apostolic Innovation. Plan now to join us as together, we plant, sow, and prepare for the harvest.
**Please Note: This is the general schedule for Assembly; YouthCon’s schedule will be different, though with similar offerings. YouthCon schedule available here.

Millersville University is a public university within Pennsylvania’s state system (PASSHE). It was originally established in 1855 as the Lancaster County Normal School (later Millersville State Normal School), as the first state normal school in Pennsylvania. A “normal school” specializes in training teachers; it is mostly an antiquated term in the US, but normal schools or their equivalent still exist around the world.
Today, Millersville University is still well-known for their education degrees, ranking #14 in the country for Best Bachelor’s in Special Education and #50 in the country for Best Bachelor’s in Education by Best Accredited Colleges in 2023.
For those staying overnight, university lodging options are private suites that include one or two bedrooms (with 2 twin-size beds each) and a private bathroom. When you register, the Assembly Planning team will arrange the lodging situation that works best with your family size. Linens will be provided.
