Stewarding the Future: Annual Conference 2023 – Board of Administration Reports

June 7, 2023

Join us as we reflect on a transformative year of ministry and growth in our Annual Conference 2023 Board of Administration report. This video gives you an inside look into the diligent work, strategic decisions, and spirit-led commitments shaping the Free Methodist Church in Southern California and the Pacific Coast Japanese Conference.

From partnering with local churches for infrastructure improvement to initiating strategic plans for future development, we are committed to serving our community with utmost integrity and grace. We’ll share highlights like our collaboration with our new superintendent, Superintendent Sato, the reduction in the board’s size for more effective collaboration, and various church partnerships and grants.

Our goal is to keep you informed about the hard work being done on your behalf and to inspire your continued prayers and support. Let’s continue uplifting each other as we strive to create a strong foundation for God’s kingdom here in Southern California and beyond. Together, we are more!

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

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.
