Day Three brought Annual Conference 2026 to a joyful and meaningful close.

On our final day together in Billings, we celebrated faithful leadership, elected delegates and reserves, approved important conference decisions, supported future pastoral leaders through the Miracle Sunday offering, and gathered for a powerful Ordination and Commissioning Service.

We give thanks for all who were commissioned, ordained, and licensed for ministry, and for Bishop David Wilson’s inspiring message reminding us that Creator God continues to shape us again and again for the work ahead.

This final day was full of celebration, gratitude, and sending forth. We leave Annual Conference encouraged by what God is doing among us and ready to continue walking The Way of Loving Boldly in our churches, communities, and across the connection.

Today, we are honored to welcome Bishop David Wilson to the Mountain Sky Annual Conference as he preaches at our Ordination Service.

Bishop Wilson serves as the resident bishop of the Great Plains Conference and is a faithful, gifted leader whose ministry has blessed The United Methodist Church across many years and many places. As a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and the first Native American bishop elected in the history of The United Methodist Church, Bishop Wilson brings a powerful witness of leadership, faith, story, and connection.

As we gather for this sacred service of ordination, we give thanks for those being set apart for ministry and for the Spirit’s continued work in and through the Church.

Welcome, Bishop Wilson. We are grateful to receive your message today.

Day Two of Annual Conference held the fullness of what it means to be the Church together.
We celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Order of Deacons and gave thanks for the faithful, justice-seeking, bridge-building ministry of deacons across our connection. We voted and elected youth reserve delegates to Jurisdictional Conference, a hopeful reminder that the future of the Church is not far away — it is already among us, speaking, leading, serving, and helping shape the way forward.
We also looked honestly at both the bright future and the powerful past of the Mountain Sky Conference. We remembered beloved friends and colleagues who have died, giving thanks for the lives, ministries, and love that continue to shape us. And we marked the closing of several churches — sacred places where generations worshiped, prayed, served, grieved, celebrated, and encountered God.
It was a day of gratitude and grief. A day of endings and beginnings. A day that reminded us that change is rarely easy, but we do not walk through it alone.
As we step together into the future, we trust that God is still leading us — through memory and hope, through loss and new life, through the hard work of letting go and the holy work of loving boldly.
