EPHESIANS 4 NETWORK
QUADRENNIAL SESSION
JULY 19, 2014
BY: BISHOP THOMAS MCGHEE
I was privileged to serve for the second year in a row as the Presiding Officer for the Ephesians 4 Network. The Quadrennial Conference was held at the end of their Conference Camp Meeting in London, Ohio. The camp and conference were held at the Campus of the IPCC Headquarters.
Once again the response to our devotional presentation on “We Prayerfully Value Scripture” was warmly received by the delegates. Bishop Brad Reynolds shared a comprehensive “State of the Conference” Report in which he shared the challenges of leading a new conference while pastoring a church as well as his vision for the future of the conference. He outlined some of the steps he believes will need to be taken in order to move the conference forward. The business session proceeded without a lot of debate or questions. Brad Reynolds was reelected by acclamation by the conference as were the other members of the executive council:
Mike Brewer – Assistant Superintendent
Gene Kennett – Secretary
Butch Deer – DM Director
Macario Bernal – Hispanic Director
Steve Hickerson & Charles Sammons – Regional Directors

Bishop Reynolds is to be commended for bringing ministers and churches together in their first camp meeting week for fellowship and spiritual renewal. Pray that God will give favor to this relatively new conference as they continue to have an impact for the Kingdom of God in this vast region of our country.
