I’m writing to invite you and your congregation to be part of an important moment in the life of our Region. At our Called Regional Assembly in June 2025, Disciples from across Oklahoma affirmed the call of Rev. Michael A. Davison Jr. to serve as Regional Minister. He began in August and has spent the months since connecting with congregations, supporting clergy, and helping shape the church’s next steps in Oklahoma.

We now look ahead to Regional Assembly 2026, to be held March 6-7, 2026, at First Christian Church Edmond (201 E. 2nd St., Edmond). Over the weekend, we will gather for worship and the formal installation of Rev. Michael A. Davison Jr., along with workshops for clergy and laity. The Assembly will also feature meaningful conversations with leaders such as Rev. Terri Hord Owens, Rev. Doug Powe, and Pastor Milton Bowens, as well as opportunities for hands-on service, intergenerational connection, music, youth activities, and time to simply be together.

In addition, we will conduct essential business of the Region, including electing new Regional Board officers, commissioning new Board members, and voting to confirm the proposed date and location for the 2028 Regional Assembly.

Attend In-Person or Watch on YouTube

We encourage you to attend Regional Assembly. We will joyfully meet in-person so please be sure to register. Can’t make it in-person? Watch the live stream of the Business Meeting and Worship & Installation on YouTube.

This Assembly marks a significant step forward in our shared work. We hope your congregation will join us as we install new leadership, learn together, and continue building the future of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Oklahoma.

With gratitude and hope,

Stacy L. Minnick,
Regional Moderator
Christian Church (DOC) in Oklahoma
