Ozark Troy District

Frederick Sherrod, III

Presiding Elder

The Ozark Troy District is located in Southeast Alabama and consists of twenty-eight churches with twenty-five pastors. Its geographical territory serves seven counties: Covington, Geneva, Crenshaw, Coffee, Pike, Dale, and Barbour.

The district was part of the old “Solid” South Alabama Annual Conference. In 2002, the former Ozark, Dothan-Eufaula, and Troy districts were reorganized into two districts, now known as Ozark-Troy and Dothan-Eufaula. Following boundary changes made in 2010 and ratified by the 49th Session of the General Conference in 2012, the Ozark Troy District is now part of the “Solid” Southeast Alabama Annual Conference.

In September 2026, Bishop Julius McAllister, Jr. appointed the Reverend Dr. Frederick D. Sherrod, III as Presiding Elder of the Ozark Troy District. He comes to the district from the neighboring Dothan Eufaula District, where he served as Presiding Elder, and he succeeds the Reverend Dr. Willie Eugene Marshall.
