Rocky Mountain Conference Makes History in Quadrennial Election

by Megan Alba Email

On June 5, 2010, the Rocky Mountain Conference made history by electing Rev. Larry Herrera to serve as their Conference Superintendent.

Herrera is the first Hispanic Bishop elected in the Rocky Mountain Conference. Also, this is the first time that an historically IPHC Anglo conference has elected an ethnic ministry leader to the position of Conference Superintendent.

In an open letter to the conference, Herrera wrote, "I wholeheartedly believe that the Lord has positioned our conference for a massive breakthrough throughout Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region. He has the right people in the right place at the right time for an expected end."

Bishop Herrera follows Rev. Paul Clark, who served as the Rocky Mountain Conference Bishop for 23 years. "[My wife] and I do not seek to fill your shoes, but we will wear the shoes and walk in the path that God has for us," wrote Bishop Herrera.

The Rocky Mountain Conference currently has 1900 members in 28 churches.
