Annual Conference 2023 Housing Options

All members of annual conference are responsible for making your own housing reservations. Each hotel has a negotiated rate listed. You must complete your reservation by May 1st to get these rates unless otherwise noted. Depending on any hotel preferred customer programs, AAA membership, military discounts, etc. you may be able to get a better rate.

Other Options: There are some Bed & Breakfast properties as well as Airbnb.com properties in the Erie Area. For those who might like to use your RV, we have provided a list of the nearest campgrounds as well as a couple churches that are willing to let RVs park in their parking lot (no services).

We encourage those who are traveling by yourself to share a room. If you are in need of a roommate, talk with your pastor or contact the district office for assistance in linking you with others who are looking for a roommate.
