From July 15–19, 2026, members of Indigenous communities of faith will gather at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, for the National Indigenous Spiritual Gathering (NISG), the triennial gathering of the Indigenous Church in The United Church of Canada.

Under the leadership of the National Indigenous Elders Council, participants will come together for sacred ceremony, worship, teachings, learning, fellowship, and community building. The gathering provides an important opportunity for Indigenous members to strengthen relationships and discern the future of the Indigenous Church.

A significant milestone for this year's gathering will be the establishment of a National Indigenous Council, which will provide leadership to the Indigenous Church as it continues its journey of self-determination. Participants will also take time to honour, acknowledge, and celebrate the leadership and service of the National Indigenous Elders Council. A time to remember and lift up retirees, individuals ordained, and those on their spirit journey since the last gathering, will also be offered.

The United Church of Canada invites people across the church to hold the NISG in prayer.
