2026 Synod Assembly
June 12-13, 2026 at Augustana College, Rock Island

Save the date and join us for the 2026 Northern Illinois Synod Assembly on June 12-13, 2026, at Augstana College in Rock Island!

Although the Northern Illinois Synod Assembly has traditionally been held on Father's Day Weekend, Synod Assembly will now be held on the second full weekend in June every year to avoid falling on Juneteenth. 

Voting Member Information
Synod Assembly Registration
Registration is Now Open!

Registration for voting members is now open and will close on May 12, 2026. Registrations will not be accepted after the May 12th deadline.

  • Each voting member is requested to register with their own email address that will be used for communications and voting.
  • Each voting member will need to have their own mobile device throughout the whole assembly, such as a cell phone or tablet with internet capability and access to email. The synod's registration computers on-site may be available in a limited capacity for some voting.

The non-refundable registration fee is $125.00. This includes lunch and dinner on Friday as well as all of the expenses of running a successful assembly.

  • Congregations are responsible for the expenses of all Lay, Youth or Young Adult, and Minister(s) serving their congregation.
  • Ministers not under call and all visitors are responsible for their own expenses.

All registrations are required to be paid via credit card at time of registration. This registration process has greatly reduced the staff time needed for synod events. If your congregation is not able to pay via credit card, please call or email Laura Bergren at the synod office, 309-794-4004 and via email.

Please note that registrations must be submitted individually. If registering multiple people, you may need to clear your cookies, use separate browsers, or only submit three at a time to avoid being locked out.

Also, please note that refunds will not be provided for those with unexpected scheduling conflicts. Substitute voting members may be accepted up until June 8th.

All meals provided by Augustana College can accommodate all dietary needs. If someone from your congregation is not comfortable eating Augustana's food, you can contact Laura Bergren at the synod office for registration options.
