Women’s History Month is celebrated every year in March, and it became an official month‑long celebration in 1987. Before that, only one week in March was used to honor women’s achievements, but Congress decided that one week was not enough time to recognize the many important contributions women have made throughout history. This month helps students and communities learn about the women who shaped our world, stood up for what was right, and continue to make a difference tod

To every Minister of every rank and file, every Deacon and Deaconess, every State and Local Official, and to our beloved Family and Friends of the North Carolina Diocese, both here in our great state and across the globe, we pause on this final Sunday of February to celebrate you. This is a time set aside during Black History Month to honor those who came before us, reflect upon those who stand among us, and pray for those who will rise to lead in generations yet to come. (He

TO THE NORTH CAROLINA DIOCESE MEMBERSHIP, May this message find each of you well.

Pastors carry a very heavy responsibility, one that reaches into the deepest places of human need. Through the power of the Lord Jesus Christ, they help bring healing to wounded hearts, deliverance to troubled souls, and hope to those facing the pressures and issues of life. Their ministry is effective only because God works through them, granting strength, wisdom, and anointing for every assignment. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach th

As the world pauses today to celebrate love with flowers, candy, cards, and gifts of every price, I paused to celebrate a greater love, an eternal love. It is wonderful to honor the people we cherish, but today I want to remind you of the One whose love changed everything. John 3:16 declares the greatest love ever shown: God loved us so deeply that He gave His only begotten Son. If you are going to celebrate the person you love, then celebrate the acts of the Almighty God, wh

What Does It Mean to Be a Leader Chosen by God? To be a leader chosen by God is to carry a sacred assignment, one rooted not in personal ambition, but in purpose. A God‑chosen leader is called to serve with humility, to guide with wisdom, and to love with the heart of Christ. Their authority is not self‑made; it is entrusted by God for the strengthening, teaching, and nurturing of His people. Such leaders walk in obedience, stand with integrity, and labor faithfully even when

As we celebrate the 1st day of Black History Month, we celebrate these dynamic leaders, women whom God has placed among us, who labor faithfully, guide prayerfully, and serve with unwavering devotion. Their spiritual guidance has shaped our journey, strengthened our faith, and helped us grow in wisdom, unity, and purpose. We honor their sacrifices, their integrity, and their steadfast commitment to the work of the Kingdom. Their leadership has been a steady light, reminding u

Growth is not optional in the Kingdom of God, it is essential. Everything God births is designed to mature, strengthen, and expand for His glory. Scripture reminds us, “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 3:18. Growth is the evidence that we are alive in Him, responsive to His Spirit, and committed to His work. This resurgence within the Ministers’ Council of the North Carolina Diocese is a call to rise, stretch, and step bold

It’s Time for Us to Connect We are in a season where connection matters more than ever. When we come together, sharing information, sharing inspiration, and sharing our voices, we strengthen the entire body. Connection is not just about communication; it’s about unity, clarity, and community. When we gather around one central place to receive updates, announcements, and ministry resources, we make it easier for everyone to stay informed and engaged. This is our moment to conn

A few words from over 60 years of ministry to every person in ministerial leadership (and those to be called), by the Spirit of God. Ministry is not about the color you wear, your placement, or even your pedigree. It is about your service to the Almighty God and His people. Keep your eyes focused on the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart according to His will. And remember this: true ministry is measured in compassion, integrity, and obedience. It is seen in

INTRODUCTION Bishop Charlene M. Jamison stands as a devoted laborer in the Kingdom, united with every minister who shares the sacred commitment to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ with excellence, integrity, and unwavering faith. Each minister carries a holy responsibility, to lead God’s people with clarity, compassion, and spiritual maturity. Such a calling demands continual growth, intentional reflection, and the ongoing development of both character and competence. This

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

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. The angel’s announcement declared “good news of great joy for all people” (Luke 2:10), and that joy is multiplied when shared in community.
