This will be the first time the General Assembly has been held in Indianapolis since 2006. Previously, the Midwestern city was the site in 2002 and 1996.
When the Church of God was there for the 71st General Assembly the venue was the RCA Dome and adjoining convention center. Since 2006, the RCA Dome has been razed and the convention center expanded into a portion of the space. The 2020 Assembly will be conducted in the expanded convention center.
“Indianapolis is a beautiful and versatile city for our needs,” stated Secretary General John D. Childers who also serves as chairman of the General Assembly Cabinet. “There are connecting sky bridges with local hotels and a convenient adjoining shopping center. In addition the expanded convention center space since the last time we gathered there offers plenty of room for us to conduct the business and events of the General Assembly.”
Last month, Hill and Childers visited with officials of the Indianapolis Convention Center where they discussed preliminary plans for the international gathering, now less than two years away.
