Chesapeake Conference

Last year’s evangelism-focused camp meeting produced an unexpected outcome: A local Methodist pastor invited the Chesapeake Conference to present a prophecy series at his church in Frederick, Md.

While not everyone has the gift of evangelism, at least in the traditional sense of the word, anyone who takes the name of Jesus Christ as their personal Savior is, indeed, an evangelist.

Four Chesapeake Conference churches in Salisbury, Md., recently partnered for a community outreach initiative called “El Amor Llegó” (“Love is Here”). Members from the Salisbury Spanish, Salisbury City Redención, Chesapeake Haitian and Beacon of Light churches gathered for bimonthly outreach efforts this spring to connect with their community in preparation for the Pentecost 2025 evangelistic meetings.

A new feature at Chesapeake Conference's Camp Meeting this year was a community health expo, offering free health screenings and wellness counseling.

The fact that Jesus instructs us to “ask” (Matt. 7:7) indicates that He is always listening. It is encouraging to know that God always hears our prayers.

In 2024, Chesapeake Conference welcomed 647 new members through baptism or profession of faith, marking the highest annual total in the conference’s history. This number represents a 28 percent increase from 2023, bringing the conference’s total membership to more than 18,500.

In early December, Highland View Academy’s (HVA) student body chose the speakers for the upcoming student-led Week of Prayer (SWOP): freshmen Rehan Singh and Luanny Montes; sophomore Alba Dani Peguero; junior Jason Ashman; and senior Samoria Lock.
