Sunday, October 27, 2024, delegates of the Arkansas-Louisiana Conference came together for their 36th constituency session at the Texarkana, TX, convention center. With 344 delegates in attendance, representing 117 churches, companies, and groups within the conference, and more than 60 at-large delegates from the conference, Southwestern Union, and North American Division, it was a time for prayer, reports, and church business.
The Arkansas-Louisiana Conference is excited to announce its new officers for the coming quadrennium (2024-2028):
- President Jeff Villegas
- Executive Vice President Ross Harris
- Treasurer/CFO Rodney Dyke
Elder Jeff Villegas has served in the Arkansas-Louisiana Conference for 15 years in various roles including District Pastor, Conference Youth Director, Ministerial Director, and most recently Executive Secretary. In an open statement to the conference members, Elder Villegas says, “I reaffirm our commitment to passionately preach the Three Angels' Messages, which call us to proclaim the everlasting gospel and prepare the world for Christ's soon return. I firmly believe that our success hinges on a united effort, underpinned by fervent prayer and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our lives and ministries.”
In addition to the election of its officers, delegates voted the departmental directors of the conference, received reports, and made updates to the conference constitution and bylaws. There was a generally sweet spirit in the room as the church moved through its business, as each officer and departmental director were voted on the first ballot.
As the conference looks ahead to the upcoming quadrennium, we invite you to keep these new officers and leaders of the conference in prayer.
