PSMIA Rochester Combine Report 2025 and Projections for 2026

Key Points and Outlook

2025 unfolded under a hopeful framework aimed at renewal for individuals and the church body, seeking personal and collective revival, salvation for souls, care for the younger generation, acquisition of new property, and growth in numbers, spiritual depth, and finances. The year opened with a dedicated period of fasting and prayer, though participation did not meet expectations. In February, leadership conducted the new term business meeting, and by year’s end the ministry reported notable outreach gains: 110 first‑time visitors, 20 baptisms, 6 Holy Ghost infillings, 7 infant dedications, and the birth of Emanuel to the Clarke family. A church bus was purchased in March to enhance outreach and transportation capabilities. Major events included an Easter Convocation in spring, a Children’s Conference in May, the National Convocation at Praise Sanctuary, the Anniversary in September, and the Fall Conference in November. The year also saw the launch of a Saturday Children’s Ministry under the Sunday School Department, with strong enthusiasm from leaders, alongside concerns about consistent child participation that are planned to be addressed in 2026.

The report details ongoing ministry developments and leadership transitions across departments. The Youth Department remained active, with Sis. Kerry appointed as National Blazer Director and playing a pivotal role in youth development, while Sis. Monique continued as Youth Secretary for three years. The Missions Department acknowledged Rev. Raye McHugh Jr.’s longstanding service; as he shifts to a new assignment, continued support is pledged. The Family Life Ministry commemorated the late Evangelist Coreda Reid, noting her faithful service and expressing grief while remaining confident that the ministry will advance under new leadership. An early year initiative to introduce a Children’s Ministry through the Sunday School framework was accompanied by some misunderstandings about structure, for which leadership apologized, and the remainder of Sunday School activities are documented in the accompanying reports. The Registrar’s Office highlighted routine recordkeeping of baptisms, Holy Ghost infillings, new memberships, and baby dedications, operating within the Administration umbrella alongside the Finance Department.

For 2026, the leadership emphasizes steadfast perseverance and a focus on unity and purposeful prayer, drawing encouragement from scriptural examples of resilience in the face of trials. The plan calls for deeper spiritual disciplines, stronger communal bonds, and increased engagement—particularly among children—while equipping parents to support regular participation. A continued commitment to finishing the course with joy and to pursuing greater outcomes is identified as a guiding aim, with emphasis on clarifying and strengthening Sunday School operations, maintaining vital departmental support (Administration, Outreach, and Family Life), and sustaining the overarching call to “believe for more.” (Page N/A)
