FMC Leaders

Acts 12:24 Churches is an organization committed to the spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through local churches. We exist to care for churches and to start new churches, and providing a healthy environment for churches to thrive both in qualitative and quantitative results is the singular focus of our work. We take our name from the verse of Scripture Acts 12:24, which describes the fruit that we desire to see from our work.

Jesus gave this promise, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) Our lives and the local church of which we are a part can make a difference right where we are, in places nearby, in far-away places and even in hard places. As a conference, we ask each church to define its ministry partnerships and commitments to local, regional and global mission.

The Great Plains Conference of the Free Methodist Church serves Free Methodist churches in Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri.  The annual conference is the organization at the regional level that joins local churches into a network.  Its function is to ensure that pastors and congregations are counseled and encouraged, to identify those who are being called into the ordained ministry, and to promote and oversee church planting and evangelism.

I have a vision and a desire to make a difference for the Kingdom.  I am focused on helping leaders to grow, churches to become vital, and a church planting movement to begin in Michigan.  My passion is helping Christians become more effective in expressing the Love of Christ and drawing people into a relationship with Jesus Christ.  We are working hard at this in many ways, including teaching the folks of our conference the Every Church Grows material, and praise God, He is blessing, and we are seeing results.

Our vision is to EQUIP, NURTURE, and GROW a highly contextual network of healthy Asian leaders and multiplying churches that will transform the spiritual landscape of the Pacific Rim and beyond.

Our first and highest call is to build the church of Jesus Christ. Our churches reflect the freedom of the Holy Spirit to guide our worship and our lives as we experience the transforming presence of God. We lead with a humble dependence on the Holy Spirit who gives fresh, healthy and holy church life; who brings new disciples, new baptisms, new members, new ministries and creates new expressions of mercy and holistic community outreach in his power.

The Southeast Region Conference (SRC) encompasses Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and the Bahamas and is composed of African American, Anglo, Brazilian, Haitian and Hispanic congregations.
The SRC exists to effectively advance the mission of Jesus Christ through leaders, churches, and networks and has high expectations of each to be effective and fruitful.

Making disciples, mobilizing leaders, meeting human needs, multiplying churches.

Everywhere the river flows, it brings life!
