GA 2024 Host Committee

Greater Richmond Convention Center

James River Presbytery is pleased to be the co-host of the 2024 PCA General Assembly at the Richmond Convention Center on June 10-14, 2023.  This is the first time that four Presbyteries will participate in the planning and hosting of the General Assembly.  Presbyteries include James River, Tidewater, Blueridge, and Korean Capital.

The GA 2024 Host Committee plans in tandem with the PCA Administrative Committee and the Stated Clerk’s Office.  The committee coordinates worship, Family and Wife events, local transportation, hospitality, and prayer for the General Assembly.

The four Presbyteries have contributed toward many of the costs associated with events planned by the Host Committee, but we are also seeking donations to offset the costs of commissioners and their families to participate in our planned events.

This prelude will begin at 6:00 p.m., and we would like to invite all interested persons from our participating presbyteries to participate in the choir. If you are interested, please sign up at the link below.
