It’s almost time! We are just a litle over a month away from coming together to be empowered by the Word of Knowledge from the Bible, strengthened through growth and life seminars, and ignited with fresh passion to walk boldly in the calling God has placed on our lives. And there is no better place to experience this move of God than North Carolina, the home of the 86th Holy Gathering, commonly known as the North Carolina Diocese State Assembly! This is the moment we’ve bee

We made it! By the power, mercy, and faithfulness of God, we have crossed over into 2026. What a blessing, what a miracle, what a testimony. After everything we faced, seen and unseen, spiritual and natural, we are still here. We are still standing. We are still praising. We are still pressing. Many started 2025 who did not finish it, but God kept us. God covered us. God carried us. And now, with breath in our bodies and purpose in our steps, we enter this new year with grati

This month’s message from Bishop Charlene M. Jamison is a thought‑provoking and empowering writing designed to stir your spirit and challenge you to do more. It speaks directly to the heart, calling each of us to rise with purpose, serve with intention, and step boldly into the greater work God has assigned for 2026. This is not just another message, it is a spiritual summons to awaken, to stretch, and to step into the “more” that God is requiring in this season. Grab yoursel

We are living in a time when the world feels stretched and strained. Political tensions rise, economic pressures mount, spiritual climates shift, and sociological divides widen. Families feel it. Churches feel it. Communities feel it. Yet none of this surprises God. Through Paul’s words in Ephesians 4:17–32, the Spirit calls us to something deeper than reaction, frustration, or fear. He calls us to renewal. Paul urges believers not to walk as the Gentiles walk, lost in the fu

Merry Christmas to everyone! Christmas is a season that reminds us of the beauty of togetherness. As family and friends gather, we celebrate not only the birth of our Savior but also the gift of one another. The lights that twinkle on our trees and homes are but a reflection of the greater light that shines when hearts are joined in love.

Rejoicing in the Gift of Redemption Text: "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." — Psalm 118:24 "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." — Luke 2:11 Christmas is a season of rejoicing, not simply because of lights, gifts, or gatherings, but because it marks the day when heaven’s greatest gift was revealed to the world. We rejoice and are glad because, as the angel declared in Luke 2:11,

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8–9 As Christmas approaches, many people ask, “Is there a gift for me?” We look under trees, wait for packages, and anticipate surprises.

December reminds us that every life is a gift from God.
