NAD Annual Council Dates Set for October 29 to November 3, 2026

The North American Division (NAD) of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is set to convene its Annual Council, formerly known as the Year-End Meeting, from October 29 to November 3, 2026. The event, which serves as the annual business meeting for leaders within the NAD, will begin at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday and conclude at 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

This gathering is a key administrative and strategic event for the NAD, where leaders discuss policies, decisions, and the overall direction of the division. The NAD Working Policy C 11 05 defines the scope and purpose of the Annual Council, ensuring that it aligns with the broader mission and objectives of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

In preparation for the meeting, NAD departments will notify individuals who are expected to attend pre-meetings. These sessions may be held virtually or on-site at the NAD headquarters. Participants are advised to check their email for specific details regarding their involvement and the format of these pre-meetings.

Travel and accommodation arrangements are also being coordinated. Preferred hotel rates are available for attendees, with suggestions for the closest airport to the NAD headquarters. Reservations can be made through the designated page, and participants are encouraged to arrive one day before their scheduled meetings to ensure a smooth transition into the event.

The Annual Council provides a platform for leaders to engage in collaborative decision-making, reflecting the Adventist emphasis on unity and shared purpose. As the NAD continues to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the modern world, such gatherings play a vital role in maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of its mission and ministry.
