The General Assembly will review activities of the Church in the previous year, plan for the ensuing year, and serve as a platform for fellowship, interactions and networking among Commissioners and Corresponding Members.
The 20th General Assembly will also take decisions that will guide the activities of the Church in subsequent years.
