Message from bishop

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As we reflect on the journey of our Diocese since its founding in 1982, we give thanks to God for His faithfulness through every season of growth, challenge, and transformation. This Diocese was built on the vision of bringing the gospel closer to the people, and today we continue that mission with renewed passion—empowering our congregations, investing in education and health, and embracing digital ministry for the modern age. I am deeply grateful for the dedication of our clergy, lay leaders, and faithful Christians who serve with humility and love. As we look to the future, let us remain steadfast in prayer, unity, and service, knowing that the Lord who began this good work will bring it to completion. May God bless you all.
