LEADERSHIP

Dr. Russell McClanahan

Many know him as a spiritual father, empathetic pastor, wise counselor, trusted friend, and devoted family man. He is a diplomatic ambassador, an outstanding communicator of God's truth, and a bridge-builder. He is Archbishop Dr. Russell McClanahan (or Bishop Russ as he prefers to be called), the Patriarch of the EEC and president of Evangelical Episcopal University . Formerly serving as Presiding Bishop, Archbishop Russ now serves as the Patriarch. In the role of Patriarch, Archbishop Russ continues to provide spiritual direction and encouragement to the communion, acting as the experienced shepherd to the archbishops and bishops. From his earliest years, God was uniquely preparing Bp. Russ for ministry by placing him in situations and connecting him with people that would shape his character and direct the course of his life and ministry. Growing up in a solid evangelical background, he was introduced to Christ, Son of God and Sin-bearer. He was taught a reverence for Holy Scripture and learned the joys of Christian service through participation in outreach ministries to the poor living close to his home in the Appalachian mountains. "It was there that I received my moral compass," he remarks. At the age of 17, he accepted Christ as his Saviour and Lord in his hometown church. Immediately he felt God's call to ministry and became licensed to preach in the Methodist Church. At age 18 he accepted his first student pastorate in the Methodist Church in Paint Lick, KY. In the following years, he continued to minister through church planting, overseas mission work, holding evangelistic crusades, and finding opportunities to share the truth and love of Christ in a counseling setting. During this time, he pursued his education, receiving his BA from Kentucky Wesleyan College, M. Div from Garrett Theological Seminary and D.Min. from Central Christian University. In his early 20's, two events occurred in Bp. Russ' life that sparked his love for convergence. The first occurred while he was alone during an intense time of prayer asking God to empower him to live a life worthy of his calling. As he was praying, he was filled with the overwhelming presence of Christ. Suddenly he found his words no longer sounded like English! At this, he recalls, "My intimacy with Christ exploded." This experience led him to embrace the Charismatic element of the Church. The second event occurred while Bp Russ was attending a Sacramental worship service. He was already familiar with the liturgy and the Lord's Supper but only as rituals to be practiced. This day, however, they took on new significance as he again encountered the real and powerful presence of Christ in the sacraments of confession, absolution, and receiving of the bread and wine during the Lord's Supper. He found himself getting up early on Sunday mornings to attend a sacramental service before preaching at his own church "Just to hear the comforting words of the priest speaking God's forgiveness over me." It was these spiritual experiences that gave rise to Bp. Russ' love of convergence and his passion to see the members of the Evangelical, Charismatic and Sacramental traditions work together instead of against each other. One of his favorite sayings is, "After all, we do work for the same Boss!" God has gifted Bp Russ with the ability to find common ground and celebrate differences. He is able to create relationships that cut across lines of conflict between people and groups and restore harmony and reconciliation where there had previously been disunity and division. He is able to meet people where they are and take them to the next step God has for them. Understanding that this ability is a gift of God, he is quick to acknowledge that "Everything I am and ever hope to be is found only in Christ." Bishop Russ is many things to many people; but at his core, he is a lover of Christ, a lover of people, and he loves to bring the two together! Bishop Russ lives in Tallahassee, Florida with his wife, Laurelyn, who is ordained with the EEC and his partner in life and ministry.

Owen McGregor

Archbishop Owen McGregor is the senior Pastor of Mount Calvary Pentecostal Church. Having been brought up in the ministry, his distinct passion for the Word of God and pastoral attitude set him apart for pastoral work from an early age. He stared preaching and doing Evangelism work since 1975 and was ordained pastor in 1978. In 1985 he was elected as the Moderator and Senior Pastor of the, then, National Pentecostal Church after the passing of his father, the Apostle and Evangelist George McGregor. Mount Calvary Pentecostal Church is home to about 7000 members. The church has twenty five branches, with the main branch in the heart of the communities of Berea, Yeoville and Hillbrow. In this cosmopolitan area of Johannesburg, many have seen the decay of morality and the fear of God dissipate but there is light of hope that it is kept alive by the song and praise that emanates from the MCPC Big Tent Tabernacle, affectionately known as the “Light House”. Hand in hand with his wife Apostle Maggie McGregor, Archbishop McGregor is a shepherd amongst the people, a leader in the society and he has endeared himself to the people of this community by serving regardless of the numerous social challenges. Through various outreach programs the church reaches out to the community and in a small way feed the hungry and clothe the poor. In his illustrious ministry that spans 50 years, the passion for the lost souls has led Archbishop Owen to minister in many parts of the Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Europe and the USA. The Archbishop and Mount Calvary Pentecostal church believe in ministering the gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost souls, deliverance to the perishing, the administration of the Holy Spirit with signs and wonders. He has mentored a lot of pastors, to the extent that he has been called a “Pastor of Pastors” and the church, MCPC - “a training Centre”. Indeed, this is signified in the Bible School that operates under the guidance of the leadership of the Church. In all his travels over the years, it is always rewarding to hear the testimonies of those who have been affected by the ministry of the Word and demonstration of the power of God through miracles, signs, and wonders. Archbishop McGregor believes that there is no task too hard for him. In his assertion, if the Lord Jesus has put a task in his heart, He will provide the means to get it done. Many of the crusades he has held in the South Africa and the Continent of Africa, have been held under very difficult conditions. It is his spoken and personal testimony that no hardships, shortage of funds, the scorching African sun or restrictions imposed by the authorities of the day have succeeded in deterring him from ministering the Word of Salvation and Hope. The Apartheid government of South Africa could not stop him from preaching in the black townships in the seventies and eighties. In fact, the Archbishop is fond of his first encounter with teargas in June 16, 1976 during a crusade that had been held in Soweto that day. Whenever he travels down memory lane, and he encounters that burning sensation of teargas in his eyes, he becomes teary and not because of the painfulness of the experience but that the Lord has allowed him the grace to do such a fulfilling work in his lifetime. Family man: Archbishop Owen got married to his beautiful wife, Apostle Maggie, on October 15, 1977. The Lord has blessed them with a family of two daughters and a son. All three of his children are actively involved in ministry. They also have four grand children. Ministry: On Sunday, March 27, 2005 Owen Mcgregor was consecrated into the office of Bishop by Bishop N. D. Swarts of Christian Assemblies of South Africa. At this same occasion Bishop Owen was honoured by the University of Pretoria for his commitment and dedication towards the building of a God-fearing Society, he was duly conferred with an honorary Doctorate. On October 10th, 2013 Bishop Owen McGregor received Apostolic Succession through Bishop Tony Palmer. On 31st march 2018 Bishop Owen Farrell McGregor was Elevated to the position of Archbishop. The presiding archbishop was Russel McClanahan of the Evangelical Episcopal Communion in conjunction with All Africa Bishop Council. Archbishop Owen Mcgregor is the President of Apostolic Network of Ministers. He is also one of the founding members of All Africa Bishops Council. On January 26, 2021 Archbishop McGregor ascended into the position of President of All Africa Bishops Council. May Almighty God give more grace to His servant.
