PRAY. ENCOURAGE. EQUIP.
Join Interagency Christian Fellowship as we ask God’s blessing on the new federal fiscal year. The Convocation will gather Federal Executive Branch believers and faith leaders from across the country to pray over career civil service employees, connect Christian Feds with Bible studies and prayer groups at work, and provide religious freedom training in the federal workplace.
The FY’27 Convocation is October 3rd from 9am-2pm, hosted at the Museum of the Bible. You will hear from inspiring speakers, meet believers from across government, and see what God is doing in Washington, DC. All are welcome to join! Please invite your church, prayer teams, and those working for Federal Agencies.
Tickets are only $45 and include a light breakfast and coffee to start the day, full lunch, a ticket to the Museum of the Bible for the rest of the day, and two books!
We will kick off the Convocation with prayer events on October 1-2. You will meet with faith leaders in federal agencies and understand how to pray for their mission, leadership, coworkers, and those they are there to serve.
