The South Central Jurisdictional Conference, originally scheduled for July in The Woodlands, Texas, has been postponed until November 10-12, 2021, because of the effects of COVID-19. It was at this gathering where episcopal assignments for the jurisdiction’s 12 Annual Conferences — including North Texas — were to take place.
Following consultation with the SCJ College of Bishops and the Council of Bishops, the South Central Jurisdiction Committee on the Episcopacy has decided to continue current episcopal assignments through the rescheduled jurisdictional conference in 2021.
As a result, Bishop Michael McKee will continue to serve as Resident Bishop of the North Texas Conference.
“The engaged work of the clergy, laity, and churches of the North Texas Conference will never be complete,” Bishop McKee said. “But to walk alongside you during these challenging times as we collectively and collaboratively live into Christ’s call to serve is both fulfilling and brings me joy. What a gift it is to me to be in ministry with the North Texas Conference.”
