The Primate’s Council of the Charismatic Episcopal Church of North America

The Primates Council of the Charismatic Episcopal Church of North America (CEC-NA) is overjoyed to announce the unanimous nomination of Archbishop Chuck Jones as the next Primate of the CEC-NA. This nomination now moves to the Patriarch’s Council of the ICCEC for affirmation, a step that will officially confirm his leadership in this sacred role.

This moment is the culmination of three months of dedicated prayer and fasting by all North American bishops, seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit in this significant decision. The bishops gathered in Sharpsburg, GA, at the Cathedral of Christ the King on Thursday, January 30, for a day of worship, Eucharist, and prayer. By Friday, with unity and conviction, they discerned that God had spoken—leading them to nominate Archbishop Jones without hesitation on the unity of consensus.

In the coming days, the Patriarch of the ICCEC will officially affirm his nomination, marking the beginning of this next chapter for the CEC-NA. Shortly, Archbishop Jones will issue a pastoral message, sharing his heart for the church and the path ahead.

We give thanks for the Lord’s guidance in this process and invite the church to join in prayer, support, and celebration as we move forward in faith.
