Last Call for Young Artists—Submit by May 9 to Be Featured at Assembly
There’s still time for young artists to help shape the 2025 Synod Assembly—but submissions must be received by Friday, May 9!
Children and youth from across the Grand Canyon Synod are invited to create and submit artwork inspired by our Assembly theme, “Build Up the Body,” from Ephesians 4:12-13. Their drawings, paintings, and digital artwork will reflect how they see Jesus, Church, and themselves as part of the Body of Christ.
“…to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ…”
All submitted artwork will be displayed at the Assembly, featured in an online gallery, and considered for printing as part of a special postcard collection. Plus, every participant will be entered into a drawing for a gift card to purchase art supplies.
✍️ Submission Details
Who can submit? Any child or youth connected to a congregation in the Grand Canyon Synod.
How to submit? Upload artwork via our online form at gcsynod.org/2025/assembly/art.
