The Orthodox Church in America is one year away from convening the 21st All-American Council, set to take place from July 14-18, 2025, in Phoenix, AZ. The theme of the 21st AAC is “Gathered Together By Christ.”
Clergy and laity from across the Orthodox Church in America will meet at the Arizona Grand Resort, a premier destination in the American Southwest which offers ample meeting space and excellent amenities, including the largest water park in Arizona, multiple dining options, a golf course, spa, and athletic club.
The visit of the Pre-Conciliar Commission to the location in March 2023 confirmed its suitability for the work of the AAC, the exhibition hall, presentations, youth program, and the social life of the delegates which comes along with gathering in Council.
As defined in the Statute of the Orthodox Church in America, “the All-American Council is the highest legislative and administrative authority within the Church. The Council brings together the various elements of the Church to bear witness to her identity, unity, and mission.”
More information will be provided as it becomes available.
