The Role of the General Board
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.” (Psalms 33:12) KJV
The General Board of the Church of God in Christ, Inc (COGIC) is responsible for establishing and executing policies for the membership, as well as sustaining and perpetuating spiritual order within the Church. These twelve bishops, chosen from the Board of Bishops, are voted into office by the General Assembly for a term of four years. Executive decisions made by the General Board are final unless revoked or modified by the General Assembly. The General Board convenes three times a year for official meetings in the months of April, November and at the time the presiding bishop deems necessary.
The Presiding Bishop of the Church Of God In Christ is Bishop Charles E. Blake, pastor of West Angeles Church Of God In Christ in Los Angeles, CA. Through his leadership the board has continued its vision which is based on Titus 1:5, in which the Apostle Paul appointed Titus to lead the people of Crete as an elder. Bishop P.A. Brooks, 1st Assistant Presiding Bishop and Bishop Jerry W. Macklin, 2nd Assistant Presiding Bishop serve as Presiding Bishop Blake’s special aides on the General Board.

Church Organization Chart (Sample)
The Church Organization Chart (Sample) is available for free below to download, customize, print to help organize your church staff...
If your church does not have an organization chart then you need to use the sample below to create one for your church to keep in your Human Resources Department or church administrative office.
The chart pictured to the right is the sample you can download below. If you convert it to Microsoft Office Word format by links below or buy purchasing the Church Forms CD then you can easily edit this chart by simple clicks and retyping the titles...
MS Word makes it so easy to edit these charts to change titles, add more blocks, delete blocks, etc. So you have no excuse not to get a chart for your church and put it to good use immediately.
If you work in the Human Resources department for a church or any organization then the first thing you would want in your hands is an organization chart like the sample on the right. The reason for this is because it tells you who does what, who they report to, what their function is, and do they have any real authority.
If you want to ever succeed in your church or organization then an organization chart is very critical to have. When you think about it everyone loves structure and organization where everything can fall into place easily without confusion entering into the process.
Depending on the size of your church an organization chart may not be necessary. For example, if you only have three people on your church staff then you would not need one most likely but if you have a large staff of volunteers then it might be helpful.
Organization and structure is the two main purposes for this chart and provides:
- Organization to the effort
- Clearing establishing who is the central leader
- Divides tasks according to a job function
- Provides structure of the chain of command
Many churches have seen great missions completely lost from the lack of organization in the church. A lot of times they might have a large group of volunteers willing to help but sometimes the right hand would not know what the left hand was doing so to speak. So whether you have employees of volunteers be sure to have an organization chart to keep everyone completely organized and everything running smoothly.
