Episode 177: Getting Excited for the 45th General Assembly

In this kickoff episode of our General Assembly 2025 Series, Dean is joined by Marti Ratcliff, the General Assembly Team Lead and the EPC’s go-to expert for all things GA. Together, they take listeners behind the scenes of what it takes to pull off a week like this – and why it matters.

Marti shares what the role of GA Lead really entails, how she works year-round to bring the vision for General Assembly to life, and what attendees can expect from this year’s experience at Ward Church in Northville, Michigan. From worship services and equipping sessions to networking lunches and registration logistics, Marti gives us a preview of the meaningful moments – and the moving parts – that make GA a rich and welcoming space for commissioners, leaders, and guests across the EPC.

🗓️ Whether it’s your first time attending or your tenth, this conversation will help you walk into GA confident, equipped, and ready for all God will do.
