A Pennsylvania native, Bishop Mark Webb first felt his call to ministry while attending Shippensburg University, through the influence of Campus Christian Fellowship and the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Inspired by the writings of Dr. David Seamands, he was drawn to Asbury Theological Seminary, where he earned his Master of Divinity in 1989. During his time at Asbury, Bishop Webb was deeply shaped by mentors such as David and J.T. Seamands, Stephen O’Malley, and his favorite professor, Donald Boyd. The relationships and spiritual formation he experienced there continue to influence his ministry today.

He now serves as a Bishop of the Global Methodist Church, bringing a lifelong passion for helping individuals and congregations boldly live out the gospel with faithfulness and grace. He and his wife, Jodi, live in Lititz, Pennsylvania.

Dr. Luther Oconer serves on the faculty of Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky, where he teaches United Methodist studies, the Holiness Movement, Pentecostal and Charismatic movements, and church renewal.

He earned his Ph.D. in Wesleyan and Methodist Studies from Drew University and is an ordained elder in The United Methodist Church in the Philippines. Dr. Oconer is First Vice President of the Wesleyan Theological Society and editor of the Wesleyan Journal for Religious Studies. His award-winning book, Spirit-Filled Protestantism, explores Holiness-Pentecostal revivals and the shaping of Filipino Methodist identity.

Passionate about revival and renewal through the Holy Spirit, he regularly preaches and leads workshops internationally. He and his wife, Marion, have two children, Ilana and Wesley.

Rev. Paul Lawler serves as Lead Pastor of Christ Methodist Church in Memphis, Tennessee. After a transformative encounter with Christ during college, he devoted his life to pastoral ministry, church renewal and disciple-making. A graduate of Asbury University and Asbury Theological Seminary, Paul has helped plant and revitalize churches globally, fostering a movement rooted in prayer, Scripture and gospel mission. He and his wife, Missy, are passionate about equipping others to live spirit-filled lives and to advance “movemental Methodism” for the renewal of the Church and the world.

Growing up as the only young person in his church, Rev. Pierce Drake developed a deep appreciation for intergenerational ministry that now shapes his pastoral leadership. A pastor’s son from South Georgia, Rev. Drake’s journey of faith included seasons of questioning that ultimately led him to a renewed encounter with Jesus during college.

He has served churches in London, Georgia, and Nashville, and now leads Covenant Church at Creekside, a campus of The Woodlands Methodist Church, where he is passionate about helping people live out their faith in community — around kitchen tables and in everyday life. Rev. Drake and his wife, Claire, have two children, Emmie Jo and Raymond.
