The 68th Annual Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Northwest Texas
Diocesan News
October 23–24, 2026 | Lubbock, Texas
Clergy and lay leaders from across the Diocese of Northwest Texas will gather in Lubbock this October for the 68th Annual Diocesan Convention, hosted by St. Paul’s on the Plains Episcopal Church.
Diocesan Convention is one of the central gatherings of our shared life—a time to worship together, renew relationships across our geographically expansive diocese, conduct the business of the Church, and celebrate the ministry God is doing throughout Northwest Texas.
This year’s convention will include optional workshops and fellowship on Thursday evening, Opening Eucharist on Friday morning, business sessions on Friday and Saturday, and our Friday evening social hour and convention dinner.
Register for Convention
Registration for the 2026 Diocesan Convention is now open.
Each attendee—including spouses and guests—will need to register using a unique individual email address. This is especially important because convention communications and electronic voting information will be sent directly to registered participants.
The deadline to register without a late fee is October 8, 2026.
