SYNOD ASSEMBLY 2026

Thursday April 23 – Saturday April 25

Hosted by Bethany Lutheran Church

4500 E. Hampden Avenue | Denver, Colorado


Synod Assembly Communications for EVERYONE

This year’s Rocky Mountain Synod Assembly centers on the theme “Vida en Cristo. Life in Christ,” inviting the synod to root its shared life in Jesus Christ. The theme emphasizes that life in Christ is lived not only in worship and church gatherings, but also in everyday callings—at home, at work, in service to neighbors, and in the ordinary rhythms of daily life.


Grounded in baptism, the Assembly highlights God’s grace, the Spirit’s renewing work, and the calling of all people to live out faith through love, service, justice, and peace. Scripture guiding the theme includes Romans 6:3–4 and Galatians 2:20.

Welcome to Bethany!
