Youth and Young Adult Voting Members<\/h1>\n
Are you someone between the ages of 12 and 30 who is passionate about the church and interested in how we connect in ministry beyond the local setting? Do you know someone who is?<\/div>\n

The 2026 Pacific Northwest Annual Conference Session offers an opportunity for young people to be involved in this important meeting in the life of the church. Young people help to bring new eyes and a younger perspective to the connectional work of the church. Applications are now available to fill the five youth (12-18) and five young adult (18-30) voting member spots for each district in the Pacific Northwest Conference.<\/p>\n

District youth or young adult equalization members have the same responsibilities as any other member of the Annual Conference. The Lay Member Resource Page<\/a> provides more information about the Annual Conference Session and the responsibilities of a lay member.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you are a leader in your church but don’t happen to be a young person yourself, please pass this along to an exceptional young person in your congregation! Thanks for your help in getting the word out about this opportunity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
