This temporary appointment is expected to last no later than June 1, 2025. Rev. Male will continue in his role as Senior Pastor with the support of Madison Methodist’s clergy team and staff. Our Lay Leaders and Staff Parish Relations Committee have supported this request, and they ask for your prayers for Rev. Male as he serves our Conference in the interim. Bishop Jones is consulting with the Connectional Council, the Superintendency Committee, and the Cabinet to discern soon who should be appointed to this position as the full-time Conference Superintendent.
