The Lord, be with you!!

I offer my personal greetings as the newly-elected Bishop Primus for CEEC.CHURCH, and thank you for visiting with us. I am deeply honored and grateful for the International College of Bishops for appointing me and electing me as the Primus for the next four years.

Since the earliest days of our Communion’s history in 1995, we have been focused upon being an authentic expression of the historic Church. As an Anglican jurisdiction in Apostolic Succession, we embrace the convergence of the Church’s three core expressions – the sacramental, the evangelical and the pentecostal. We’re also deliberate about building relationships in Christ that express the unity of His Body.

The Reformed perspective calls us to focus on God’s glory in all things. We are reminded of the great truths of the Reformation—salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed in Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone. These foundational principles shape and sustain the Communion as we labor for the expansion of Christ’s kingdom on earth.

Today, CEEC.CHURCH is a vibrant and growing body, spanning five continents and consisting of over 2.1 million members. By God’s grace, nearly 11,000 churches have been planted since its establishment, equipping congregations to faithfully proclaim the gospel and disciple the nations.

The mission is deliberately missional, seeking to advance God’s kingdom by proclaiming the good news of salvation, fostering faithful discipleship, and establishing relationships across the broader Body of Christ. The focus is not simply to build an institution but to faithfully fulfill the Great Commission, making disciples of all nations for the glory of our triune God.

The training and formation programs for deacons and pastors reflect a commitment to the Reformed theological framework. Whether preparing for Holy Orders or pursuing theological education, the focus is on equipping leaders who are deeply rooted in the gospel, sound in doctrine, and devoted to the ministry of Word and sacrament. By grounding leaders in a robust understanding of the historic faith and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit, the Church is strengthened and equipped for mission.

One of the great strengths of the Communion lies in the relationships it cultivates. Many clergy serve in persecuted regions, standing firm in their confession of the faith amidst trials and challenges. As a community, burdens are borne together, fostering a spirit of unity and mutual encouragement. In this way, Christ’s prayer in John 17 is fulfilled, striving for unity in truth, love, and mission.

If what you’ve just read resonates in your heart, I invite you to connect with us. Together, we can join hands in building bridges, not barriers, and glorifying our King as we proclaim His Word and His saving grace to the ends of the earth.

To Him alone be the glory forever and ever!

Grace, mercy, and peace to you in Christ Jesus!
