Who is the current Presiding Bishop of COGIC (as of 2024)?

Understanding who leads a denomination helps you connect the person to the church’s guiding direction. The Presiding Bishop is the top spiritual and administrative leader of the Church of God in Christ, elected by delegates at the International Holy Convocation. As of 2024, that position is held by Bishop J. Drew Sheard, elected in 2020 to succeed Charles E. Blake. He comes from Detroit’s Greater Emmanuel Institutional Church of God in Christ and has led the denomination’s national leadership since his election. The other names are leaders of churches in different denominations or contexts, not COGIC’s Presiding Bishop: T. D. Jakes leads The Potter’s House in Dallas; Kenneth Ulmer pastors Faithful Central Bible Church in Los Angeles; Charles Stanley was a longtime pastor in Atlanta and is not part of COGIC leadership.
