July 6-9, 2026
Indianapolis, Ind.

Dear friends,

Summer is in full swing, and we all know what that means: warm days filled with sunshine, play, good food and fun. These days can also bring a sense of unending busyness as we hustle from one church activity, family gathering, camp or party to the next. It’s easy to get lost in the chaos and feel disconnected from ourselves, each other and the Divine.

With that in mind, let’s get together for a time of intentional connection, where we can renew our individual and collective strength, enjoy camaraderie with colleagues, and reflect on the Holy Spirit’s work among us.

Mark your calendars for the Rostered Ministers Gathering on July 6-9, 2026, in Indianapolis. All ELCA deacons, pastors and bishops (under call, on leave or disability, retired or an approved candidate for call) are invited.

We’ll provide more information over the next few months, so please stay tuned to our emails to read more about this year’s theme, keynote speakers and workshop sessions.

We can’t wait to see you,

The Rostered Ministers Gathering Planning Team
