PRAIRIE VIEW – Johnson-Phillip All Faiths Chapel at Prairie View A&M University is hosting their 61stSession of the Annual Ministers’ Conference on February 5-6.

For six decades, Bishops, Pastors, Elders, Ministers, Christians and Friends from the state of Texas and beyond have come both far and near to convene on these two days to be empowered and enlightened on theological insights and ecumenical fellowship.

The theme for this year’s conference is, “Effective Strategies for Preaching, Teaching, & Reaching in these Changing Times.”  The conference chairs are Reverend Brenda Payne, Presiding Elder, South Houston District Texas Annual Conference African Methodist Episcopal Church and Co-Chair, Reverend Sean J. Nickelberry, Pastor, Wolridge African Methodist Episcopal Church, of Houston.

Charles H. Lewter

Charles H. Lewter, IV who presently serves as the third dean of the chapel will be celebrating 25-years of service at Prairie View A&M University.  Lewter’s vision for the chapel has always been to create an atmosphere and ministry of inclusivity and diversity among students, faculty, and staff. He believes, “the opportunity to pour spiritual knowledge into young people’s lives is worthy of the cause in making a difference as they become productive people in a global society.”

The chapel’s motto “Empowering Students through Faith, Education and Service” sets the trajectory for students to look beyond themselves and contribute in making a difference for a better humanity and peaceful society.  We must remember that there is still work to be done to break down barriers of sexism, classism, racism for purposeful ministry to be experienced.
