Bishops are the general overseers of the Church. The Board of Bishops provides primary pastoral leadership of the denomination with ecclesiastical authority to lead and direct the Church, and develop and articulate the purpose, vision, values and expected outcomes of the Church. Each of our three Bishops serves one-third of the United States and represent the FMC in different world areas.
