ACROSS Conference

The ACROSS Conference family gathered on Saturday, June 24th in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for its first official Quadrennial Conference as the youngest USA conference.

​

Bishop Hector Andrade and the Conference Council had prepared well, and the day was filled with worship, fellowship, and necessary conference business.

​

The ARISE IN Mission emphasis was shared, and there was a strong response to engage accordingly. The conference leaders provided exceptional reports regarding credentials, training, finances, and ministry activities.

​
