The episcopal office in the Global Methodist Church is not a position of power, but a sacred trust grounded in Scripture and tradition.
This week’s lesson explores:
-The biblical imagery of the bishop as a shepherd: one who feeds, cares for, and watches over the flock.
-The continuity of the apostolic tradition, beginning with Christ’s disciples and continuing through faithful leadership today.
-The unique Global Methodist Church understanding of the bishop as a consecrated elder, not holding a lifelong office, but serving the whole Church for a time.
This week marks the beginning of our eight-week journey through the Assembly of Bishops’ teaching series, Guardians of the Faith. You’ll hear directly from our bishops as they explore the heart of the Global Methodist Church leadership structure—what it means to be an episcopal leader rooted in Scripture, shaped by history, empowered by the Spirit, and grounded in humility and service.
