About Our Meetings
Thames North Synod gathers for full Synod meetings 2-3 times a year. The meetings are usually hybrid, allowing for attendance both in person and via Zoom. These gatherings bring together approximately 120-150 people, including Ministers, representatives from local churches, Committee Members, Staff, and youth representatives.
The meetings include worship, bible study, presentations from Synod committees and staff, and the passing of resolutions that set the direction of our shared work. The two principles that underpin our decision-making are ‘seeking the mind of Christ’ and establishing consensus, believing that the Holy Spirit will guide us to move forward together in a spirit of unity.
