The End of an Era? — COGIC Just Made Its Biggest Decision In Years

The Church of God in Christ (COGIC) just made one of the biggest institutional decisions in the denomination's recent history. In this video, we break down the General Assembly's vote to relocate the Holy Convocation from Memphis, Tennessee — COGIC's founding city — to St. Louis, Missouri, for 2026, 2027, and 2028. We cover Bishop J. Drew Sheard's leadership, the financial and logistical reasons behind the move, reactions from Memphis and St. Louis officials, and what this decision means for COGIC churches nationwide. Whether you're a lifelong COGIC member or just discovering this story, this is the full breakdown you need. #COGIC #BishopSheard #HolyConvocation #ChurchOfGodInChrist #MasonTemple #Memphis #StLouis #PentecostalChurch #GospelNews #FaithNews #ChurchLeadership #GeneralAssembly #BlackChurch #ChristianNews #COGIC2026
