The Eastern Pennsylvania Conference and its sister Peninsula/Delaware Conference together compose the Philadelphia Area, with nearly 1,000 churches served by Bishop Peggy Johnson.

Led by Bishop Johnson, the Conference is part of a spiritual movement, with a mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
