All appointments for the 2025-2026 appointment year are set by Bishop Thomas J. Bickerton at the Annual Conference session. During this season of appointment-making, we will announce those appointments the bishop intends to make. These are pending final review and may be changed at any time.
In 2025, we will publish intended appointment changes once a month at the beginning of the month starting in February. The final report will be the end of May. After that, announcements will be made at Annual Conference.
