List of Jurisdictions of the Church of God in Christ

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Church of God in Christ (COGIC) is a Holiness-Pentecostal Christian denomination,[1][2] with a predominantly African-American membership. The denomination reports having more than 12,000 churches and over 6.5 million members in the United States.[3] The National Council of Churches ranks it as the fifth largest Christian denomination in the U.S.[4]

Internationally, COGIC can be found in more than 100 nations. Its worldwide membership is estimated to be between six and eight million,[5] composing more than 25,000 congregations throughout the world. The following is a list of the geographical dioceses of the denomination, which are called "jurisdictions", and the leader of each.*

*TBD = To Be Determined – when the Office of Bishop is vacant for a diocese/jurisdiction in the case of the death, retirement, or abdication of a bishop, or if the jurisdiction is newly formed and has no bishop yet.

*Bishop-designate = A "Bishop-designate" or "Bishop-designee" is someone who has been selected to be a candidate for the Office of Bishop for a specific jurisdiction in the denomination, but has not yet been officially consecrated and installed in the position.

*Interim = This denotes that another bishop has been chosen from elsewhere in the denomination to be the temporary leader of a jurisdiction until a new Bishop-designate is officially consecrated and installed as its leader.

The controversy led to the emergence of three-step Holiness Pentecostal denominations (the Church of God, Cleveland, TN; the Pentecostal Holiness Church and the Church of God in Christ) and two-step, Finished Work denominations (the Assemblies of God and the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada).

Those who resisted Durham's teaching and remained in the 'three-stage' camp were Seymour, Crawford and Parham, and Bishops Charles H. Mason, A.J. Tomlinson and J.H. King, respectively leaders of the Church of God in Christ, the Church of God (Cleveland) and the Pentecostal Holiness Church. Tomlinson and King each issued tirades against the 'finished work' doctrine in their periodicals, but by 1914 some 60 percent of all North American Pentecostals had embraced Durham's position. ... The 'Finished Work' controversy was only the first of many subsequent divisions in North American Pentecostalism. Not only did Pentecostal churches split over the question of sanctification as a distinct experience, but a more fundamental and acrimonious split erupted in 1916 over the doctrine of the Trinity. ... The 'New Issue' was a schism in the ranks of the 'Finished Work' Pentecostals that began as a teaching that the correct formula for baptism is 'in the name of Jesus' and developed into a dispute about the Trinity. It confirmed for Holiness Pentecostals that they should have no further fellowship with the 'Finished Work' Pentecostals, who were in 'heresy'.
