Praise God from whom all blessings flow! We have a new bishop.
The 2026 General Conference of the Global Methodist Church has elected Rev. Dr. Luther Oconer to serve Trinity Annual Conference and the other Annual Conferences in the Episcopal Area 1.
Bishop-elect Oconer will preside over our Annual Conference for the next six years. Please join us in celebrating this election and in welcoming him into the Kingdom work of making disciples of Jesus Christ and spreading scriptural holiness across the globe.
We pray God's Holy Spirit on Bishop-elect Oconer in all of his days serving in this new role shepherding the Tanzania, Convenant Philippines, India, Mega Manila Philippines, Panama, Mississippi-West Tennessee and Trinity Annual Conferences.

Jason Burnham, on the Voices of Trinity podcast, where they talk about Wesleyan holiness, the work of the Holy Spirit, revival, and what it means for Methodists to once again live as a Spirit-empowered movement >> https://youtu.be/27LZ1Dh5lw4?si=6BLO7202gUg6LJj8
