2026 General Conference Delegate Candidates

Meet our General Conference Delegate Candidates

As we prepare for the upcoming Heartland Annual Conference, we invite you to take time to get to know each of our General Conference Delegate candidates. Each candidate has participated in a video interview where they answered three common questions, offering insight into their heart, perspective, and hopes for serving as a delegate. These videos are available for you to view in advance of the voting process. Additionally, there will be a Delegate Meet and Greet on Wednesday, May 28th at 4:30pm, and everyone is welcome to attend this informal time of conversation and connection. Voting for General Conference delegates will take place on Friday, May 29th during Annual Conference.
