Dear Friends of the East Coast Conference,

On behalf of the East Coast Executive Ministerial Committee, I am glad to extend the invitation to all of you for the 2025 Ministerial Association Annual Meeting (which occurs in conjunction with the Conference Annual Meeting). There is so much that has transpired in our country that has caused so much division and distress,  I am so glad to gather in person and enjoy the warmth and fellowship of my Cov Family. Lets not take this special time for granted. Let’s make a special effort to meet in person. Virtual Tech is a real blessing at times and will be available. But there is nothing like the ministry of presence. I’m sure you know the annual meeting includes:

• Our Business Meeting.

• Hearing From and Voting on Our New Ordination Candidates

• Other Ministerium Business.

• Reports Of the State of The Conference and Our Ministries.

• Continuing Education.

• And My Favorite, Worship with Our Covenant Family.

Continuing Ed is sure to be very engaging with David Fitch, Phd, Linder Chair of Evangelical Theology at Northern Seminary Chicago, joining us.

Like you, I am so grateful for the tools of technology that allow for instant communication and long-distance conversation, but even more, we are privileged to gather as colleagues and coworkers; therefore, please make every effort to attend!

If you cannot attend, please email your response to Rev. JT Shupe at jt@bethanycovenant.comWe look forward to connecting, celebrating our ordinands, and learning together. 

Blessings & Peace,

Rev. Dr. Kevin Brown, Chair
