On July 23, 2012, Bishop Larry Trotter officially launched New Century Fellowship of Churches and Ministries in Chicago, IL. In less than a month’s time, 54 churches have come on board and connected with the vision and mission of New Century Fellowship of Churches and Ministries. New Century Fellowship has also connected with 2 churches from the United Kingdom.
In addition to connecting with great churches, Bishop Larry Trotter along with New Century Fellowship has elected Bishop Jacquelyn D. Gordon as its Second Presiding Bishop. Bishop Jacquelyn D. Gordon is the Founder and Senior Pastor of Shiloh Christian Center in Melbourne, Florida. She is the wife of Deacon Haywood Gordon and the mother of three and also the proud grandmother of three beautiful grandchildren.
Bishop Jacquelyn Gordon understands the true call of ministry and she experienced this when she started Shiloh Christian Center on January 5, 1997, in an abandoned nightclub in the heart of the city of Melbourne. The church’s current membership now exceeds One thousand four hundred and is rapidly growing.
Bishop Gordon has a deep desire to see people come to Christ and her vision is to embrace people of all walks of life, letting them know that there is a better way. As the Second Presiding Bishop of New Century Fellowship of Churches and Ministries, Bishop Gordon will have the opportunity to assist in building smaller churches and sharpening their existing skills and taking them to the next place in their ministry.
Bishop Trotter is truly excited to have Bishop Gordon on board and values her anointing, gifts and calling of embracing God’s people of all walks of life. The New Century Partnership Faith Statement is based on John 17. “That they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me.” John 17.
