Why Bishop J. Drew Sheard’s First Years Leading COGIC Changed Everything

Why Bishop J. Drew Sheard’s First Years Leading COGIC Changed Everything Imagine inheriting a company with six million customers, watching half your revenue disappear almost overnight, and being handed millions of dollars in old debt , all in the middle of a global pandemic when your entire physical operation had to shut its doors. That's not a hypothetical. That's exactly what happened to Bishop J. Drew Sheard in March of 2021, the moment he became Presiding Bishop of the Church of God in Christ ,COGIC, one of the largest Pentecostal denominations on earth, with roughly six million members worldwide. He didn't inherit a church in comfortable shape. He inherited a church in crisis. Tithing had dropped by half because of COVID sanctuary closures. There was old debt sitting on the books, quietly accumulating interest. Technology inside the national headquarters was outdated. And on top of all of that, he'd just come out of one of the most contested, unprecedented elections in the denomination's history ,an entirely virtual vote, held during a pandemic, with real political division underneath it. #JDrewSheard #COGIC #ChurchOfGodInChrist #ChristianNews #ChurchNews #FaithCommunity #ChurchLeadership #GospelNews #BlackChurch #Ministry #ChristianLeadership #COGICNews
