Rev. John Cager

“You have people now in orthodox evangelicalism, who basically repudiate the Sermon on the Mount and The Beatitudes. They don’t want to hear ‘whatsoever you’ve done to the least of these, you’ve also done to me’ because that does not fit their power narrative.”

-Rev. John E. Cager III

The Reverend John E. Cager III is a prominent minister and administrative leader within the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, currently serving as the Presiding Elder of the Midwest North District. Known for his extensive pastoral legacy and civil rights activism in Los Angeles, California, he was elevated to this regional leadership role to oversee 22 churches across Kansas and Nebraska.
