The Christian Church in the Upper Midwest
(Disciples of Christ)
The Upper Midwest is gearing up to be the best hosts ever for the General Assembly of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)!
One goal that we have set as a Region is to find ways to make attendance accessible to more Disciples than ever before. High costs of lodging often stands in the way for pastors and lay people alike to come to General Assembly. Our solution is to provide no cost or low cost alternatives for those that need it.

Step 1: Prayerfully consider whether you have the ability to provide hospitality in lodging to Assembly guests.
Step 2: Complete the General Assembly Home/Church Host Form
Step 3: Once your accommodations are listed, those seeking a home host will determine if your space matches their needs and will contact the Upper Midwest Volunteer in charge of Home Hosts.
Step 4: When you are contacted by the Upper Midwest Volunteer, you will be connected by email with interested attendees. It will be up to you and the attendee to reach an agreement for use of the space.
