Diocesan Convention is the primary legislative body of the Diocese of Northern California. Clergy and lay delegates from each parish meet once a year. The number of lay delegates is determined by identifying in which congregational range the congregation belongs. A list of congregations and which congregational range they belong to can be found in the Congregational Range Sheet. Each congregation must properly complete a Certificate of Lay Delegate Form.

Each congregation must properly complete a Certificate of Lay Delegates form. Once completed, the form must be properly authenticated by the appropriate congregational leadership using one of two options:

• The Rector, Vicar or Priest in Charge print their name, sign and date the form.
• The Junior or Senior Warden and the Clerk of the Vestry print their names, sign and date the form.
