In preparation for the work we will do at that time, the Council of Bishops has appointed the following Bylaws, Delegate Certification, and Decorum Committees.

From Bishop Beacham: “Remember, our theme and focus for General Conference is Arise 2033, the vision the Holy Spirit has given the IPHC to reach the USA and the world for Jesus by the year 2033. That year is significant as many Christians will commemorate it as the 2,000th anniversary of the birth, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. It will also be the 2,000th remembrance of Pentecost. I ask all of you to enter into prayer for the Holy Spirit to guide us in Jacksonville in 2021.”
