Our Search for the

1st Bishop of the

Missionary Diocese of Navajoland

We are honored to share with you the Slate of Candidates for Bishop

It is with deep gratitude and joy that we share the news of three faithful leaders who have been called forward as candidates to serve as the first Bishop Diocesan of our diocese. We give heartfelt thanks for the devoted ministry of Bishop David Bailey, whose wisdom and love guided us for many years until his retirement in 2023 and his passing in 2024. We also give thanks for the steady leadership and care of Bishop Barry Beisner, who has walked with us in this season of transition. As we continue this sacred journey of discernment, we hold in prayer all who have listened deeply and offered themselves in service to God’s work among our people, our communities, and the beauty of our sacred lands.
