The Global Methodist Church’s Global Episcopacy Committee (GEC) is pleased to announce the assignments for bishops elected by the recent convening General Conference. This appointment process, carried out with prayer and discernment, reflects a commitment to serve the church's mission to "make disciples of Jesus Christ and spread scriptural holiness across the globe." Each assignment is effective as of November 1, 2024.
Recognizing the unique and diverse contexts within the Global Methodist Church, the GEC consulted with bishops, the Transitional Leadership Council, and conference delegations to make assignments. The goal was to embody the church’s global superintendency, ensuring all bishops serve beyond their regions of origin and other existing roles. No bishop has been assigned to their conference of origin, and assignments were made to both existing conferences and emerging areas expected to develop into annual conferences.
We anticipate both the addition of new conferences and the multiplication of existing conferences due to growth. For example, Bishop Evariste, also conference superintendent of the Democratic Republic of Congo, is well prepared to exercise episcopal leadership in new conferences of the DRC as those are defined by expansion plans currently underway. When changes in conference alignment affect the assignment of bishops, the Global Episcopacy Committee will announce those changes.
The GEC thanks the entire church for its support in this prayerful process. Please join us in welcoming our bishops as they lead with conviction and humility into this new season.
