Important News About the IPHC 30th General Conference


Delegates from across the USA and around the world will gather in Mobile, Alabama Convention Center on July 15-17 for the 2026 IPHC General Conference.

  4. A printed program of all nominees willing to be considered will be sent to the delegates along with the reports of the General Conference standing committees: Certification, Decorum, and Bylaws. All printed reports and nominees will be sent at least one month prior to General Conference in English and Spanish formats. Nominations will also be allowed from the floor at the General Conference. If delegates have any questions about the process, they can contact their conference superintendent or the General Superintendent’s Office. 


Presiding Bishop Beacham commented on the significance of the General Conference, “It has been a great honor to serve as General Superintendent since July 2012, and this will be my last General Conference to serve as General Superintendent. Every General Conference is significant, and this one is especially so as we are implementing a new way to nominate officers. I am asking the global IPHC family, and especially the delegates, to prayerfully consider every aspect of the General Conference. We are praying for the Holy Spirit to meet with us in the evening services and in the business.”
