​

The Joint College of Apostles & Bishops Table 12 is dedicated to teaching, training, and equipping bishops and apostles in ecclesiastical leadership and ceremonial practices. As part of its mission, the College provides clarity and preparation for various bishopric roles.

 

The colleges prepares the following:

 

1. Suffragan Bishop serves as a supporting bishop who aids a diocesan bishop in pastoral and administrative duties but does not have the right of succession.

2. Coadjutor Bishop (Overseer) is appointed to assist a diocesan bishop with the expectation of succeeding them, often managing administrative responsibilities. ​​

3. Titular Bishop holds title to a historical, non-active diocese and serves in auxiliary or administrative roles without territorial jurisdiction. ​​

4. Territorial Prelate Bishop oversees a specific region or territory, which may not be a formal diocese, and is responsible for spiritual and organizational governance. ​​

5. Primate Bishop is a senior bishop or archbishop who leads a group of churches or provinces within a national or international structure, acting as the chief representative. ​​

6. Emeritus Bishop is a retired bishop who no longer serves actively but retains the title in honor of their faithful service.

 

The Joint College of Apostles and Bishops Table 12 is also devoted to the sacred calling of instructing, training, and equipping both bishops and apostles in the realms of ecclesiastical leadership and holy rites. We offer thorough teachings on the sacred conduct of services, including the consecration of bishops and apostles, baptisms, holy matrimony, funerals, the dedication of infants, and baby christening ceremonies. Our curriculum further encompasses the administration of communion, the orientation of new members, and the celebration of significant milestones such as church anniversaries, pastoral anniversaries, and the founding of ministries. Additionally, we provide counsel on the organization and leadership of festive observances, including Easter, Christmas, and New Year’s celebrations, as well as youth revivals, friends and family days, choir anniversaries, feet washing ceremonies, and tarrying services. Through this sacred training, we endeavor to ensure that each leader is fully prepared to serve with excellence in every facet of ministry, fulfilling their divine purpose.

​

Additionally, The Joint College of Apostles and Bishops, Table 12, commits itself to the sacred endeavor of bestowing wisdom, nurturing growth, and equipping the hearts and minds of the faithful in matters of Economic Development, Retirement Workshops, and Marriage Seminars. These endeavors are ordained to uplift and fortify the believers in their divine vocations.
