EAD Announces 2026 National Gathering – Protecting People, Peace, and Planet

March 2, 2026

The Leadership Team of EAD is excited to announce that registration is open for EAD 2026!

In 2026, our nation faces massive upheaval and multiple crises. But as Christians, we remain hopeful as we persevere in the midst of fear and uncertainty. We remain true to the gospel, true to Jesus’s call to love our neighbor as ourselves. Given the many challenges we face, it is critical that people of faith come to Washington D.C. to raise our voices. Psalm 24 declares that “the Earth is the Lord’s and everything in it”. This Psalm reminds us that we are bound to one another in responsibility, and can only be human together. 

Join us in Washington D.C., April 20–22, 2026, as we draw on our shared faith traditions to inspire one another, and call on Congress to commit to Protecting People, Peace, and Planet! Through worship, workshops, solidarity and Congressional visits, we will bring together a diverse group of Christians to remind Congress of our shared responsibility to care for all that belongs to God. Register today!

The registration fee is $125 and includes some meals and snacks. Partial and full scholarships are available to students and attendees with limited income. Please fill out this form on our website.

Attendees are encouraged to seek accommodations at the hotel, home, or facility of their choice. Our headquarter location is Capitol Hill United Methodist Church, 421 Seward Square SE, Washington, DC, located closest to the Eastern Market and Capitol South METRO stations.

EAD will begin with an early evening worship service on Monday, April 20 and will conclude with our Lobby Day on Earth Day, April 22. Keep an eye on our website for more updates as our schedule comes together!
