AC22 – Recognizing Outgoing Superintendents

May 31, 2022

Within the Free Methodist Church, superintendents provide for vision alignment and implementation, leadership development, and guidance for the administration and growth of the church. To help facilitate the diverse needs of the Southern California conference, we have three superintendents who work together to fulfill these duties.

During the last Superintendent term, the Board of Administration chose to change from a three-person Superintendent group to a single-person model. On May 14, 2022, we recognized the service and leadership provided by Charles Latchison, Glen Prior, and Fraser Venter through their term and celebrated their new ministry direction.

# About Annual Conference 2022
Annual Conference is an exciting time to celebrate what God is doing throughout the Free Methodist Church. This year, we remembered not only how God has been faithful, but also how our churches and leaders have continued to live out faithfulness in their communities and ministries.

Fresh Oil, Fresh Anointing: Breaking Spiritual Bondage with Bishop Kenny Martin
Fresh Oil, Fresh Anointing: Breaking Spiritual Bondage with Bishop Kenny Martin

Feb 24, 2025

Bishop E. Kenneth Martin delivers a prophetic challenge to the Free Methodist Church, confronting deep-rooted issues of spiritual bondage, systemic oppression, and the church’s complacency. “Churches are dying in a cage,” he declares, calling for a radical shift in how the church addresses:

– Spiritual chains of sin and oppression
– Historical and ongoing impacts of slavery
– Diversity, equity, and inclusion challenges
– The church’s reluctance to engage difficult conversations
– Breaking free from “nasty” church politics and self-serving leadership

“This is a season of manifestation,” Martin says, urging a breakthrough from 2025 to 2035 that will transform the church locally and globally.
