Bishop-Elect Kathy Martin
The BC Synod in Convention has elected Rev. Kathy Martin as Bishop. Pastor Kathy will assume the Office of Bishop as of January 1, 2022.
We are pleased to announce that on January 6, 2022 at 4:00pm (PST) Rev. Kathy Martin will be ordained as Bishop of the BC Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada.
We hope you will join us on Zoom. We will open the Zoom meeting a few minutes before 4:00pm PDT, so you’ll have time to say hello to others before the service begins. If you would like to join via Zoom and have not yet received the link, please contact the BC Synod Office.
Alternatively, you will be able to live-stream the Ordination Service directly via this web page on Thursday, January 6th.
Please keep Bishop-Elect Kathy, Bishop Greg, and the incoming and outgoing Synod Council members in your prayers. Thanks be to God!
