Still United 2025
Dear Friends in Ministry, 
Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! 
On behalf of NAKAUMPSCRA, NAKAUMC, and NEXUS, we are excited to invite you to the 2025 Joint Convocation – "Still United," taking place August 4-7, 2025, in Los Angeles, CA. 
This gathering will be a time of worship, learning, fellowship, and renewal as we explore what it means to remain united in faith, mission, and community. 
This year’s convocation is centered around three key themes: Your Calling Matters, Your Story Matters, and Representation Matters. Through dynamic worship services, insightful panel discussions, engaging workshops, and shared fellowship, we will reflect on how God is moving in and through our ministries. 
This convocation is not just a gathering; it is a space to reconnect, share, and encourage one another as we seek to be faithful witnesses in cross-racial/cross-cultural ministry. Whether you are a longtime participant or joining for the first time, we welcome you with open hearts and look forward to celebrating our unity in Christ.

 📅 Dates: August 4-7, 2025
 📍 Location: Los Angeles, CA  
 🏨 Lodging: Sheraton Gateway in Los Angeles, CA (6101 W Century Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90045)
We encourage you to register early to secure your spot. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions. We look forward to seeing you in Los Angeles! 

⭐⭐ Childcare will be provided for kids aged 3- 13 ⭐⭐

STAYING AT THE SHERATON GATEWAY LAX
First of all, we have secured the beautiful Sheraton Gateway as the location for the conference. Please click the link below to make reservations at the Sheraton Gateway for a discounted price. 

https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1739405952516&key=GRP&guestreslink2=true&app=resvlink

We would encourage you to arrive early or stay a few more days to explore Los Angeles - all at the same low discounted price (only between August 1 to 10). However, you will be making the reservations directly with the Sheraton Gateway and pay them directly as well. Sheraton Gateway provides free airport shuttle service from LAX.


REGISTRATION AT A LOW COST  [Registration Deadline is July 11.]
With the understanding that families will be paying for the airfare and hotel directly, the design team has decided to only charge $100 for the whole family.  This includes the cost for two breakfasts, one lunch, and three dinners for everyone.  The cost for commuters will only be $50 - but you will not be provided with the hotel breakfast or lunch (dinner will be provided at the church).  We encourage pastors to use their reimbursement accounts from church; scholarships will be available for clergy who are in financial need.
