A Living Mission
Bishop J. Delano Ellis II founded the Adjutancy to give the Church a corps of servants trained in reverence, order, and protocol. That calling did not end with his passing — it was entrusted to those who continue his ministry.
Today, the JDE Training Academy gathers armor bearers, adjutants, protocol officers, and servant-leaders from across the country to learn the fundamentals of ceremonial and liturgical service. Through hands-on training, teaching, and fellowship, the Academy keeps his standard alive and prepares the next generation to “keep on helping.”
