Who It's For

Covenant members trained and appointed to serve on the Protocol team of Bishop's office, and pulpit guests who receive Protocol's hosting.

The Protocol team operates within the Executive Office of the Apostle and governs the hosting of pulpit guests, apostolic visits, and the ceremonial standards surrounding Bishop Hugh Daniel Smith’s itinerary travel and ministry presence. This is a distinct team from EMD Protocol (the campus-level protocol ministry that serves the wider Embassy Metro Detroit gathering).

How to connect: Protocol team members are appointed. If you are a pulpit guest or partner ministry coordinating a visit with Bishop Hugh, contact the Embassy office to be connected with the Executive Office of the Apostle’s Protocol team.
