Minerva G. Carcaño

Bishop Minerva G. Carcaño is a third-generation Methodist. She felt a call to ordained ministry as a child. Working alongside her father as he replaced the vinyl flooring in her church’s kindergarten classroom, she felt God swoop in and embrace her with perfect love and her heart filled with incredible joy. From that moment on she sought to live in God’s house. In the over 40 years since her ordination, she has served as a pastor, a chaplain, a lead organizer of an ecumenical parish, twice as a district superintendent in two different annual conferences, as a seminary program administrator and adjunct faculty member, and as a bishop.

Bishop Carcaño has shared her faith through her writings and through her preaching and teaching in many places across the U.S. and around the world. Ultimately, she has learned that living in God’s house means fully living in God’s amazing world.
