Our covering
United Fellowship of Christian Churches & Ministries
Bread of Life is an affiliate congregation of UFCCM, a fellowship of churches, bishops, pastors, elders and laity joined for worship, training and outreach.
UFCCM is a multi-state fellowship founded on sound doctrine, ordered episcopal oversight and mutual accountability. It licenses and ordains ministers, consecrates bishops, credentials churches, and provides leadership training, pastoral care and covering for congregations that would otherwise stand alone. Member churches gather each year for the Fellowship Conference along with regional convocations, clergy institutes and joint mission work.
Bishop Dr. H.D. Haywood, Sr. serves as Midwest Bishop of the fellowship, and Bread of Life carries that same charge locally: Scripture-first teaching, one table for every people, and hands-on service to the city of Fond du Lac.
