Applications are now accepted for planning team members for the General Convention Young Adult Festival, scheduled to run concurrently with the 79th General Convention of the Episcopal Church in Austin, TX (Diocese of Texas). The Young Adult Festival will be held July 4-9, 2018 in Austin, TX.

The Young Adult Festival is designed for young adults 18-30 years old to meet peers from across the globe, pray and learn together, engage in the church’s legislative process, and help discern God’s call for the Episcopal Church.

“The planning team will work together to create a framework for young adults from across the church to experience General Convention,” explained the Rev. Shannon Kelly, Episcopal Church Officer for Young Adult and Campus Ministries. “With worship, workshops, networking, and housing, the festival makes General Convention accessible and enjoyable for rookies, advocates, and leaders alike.”
