Greetings,

It is with great enthusiasm and expectation that I serve the men of God in the Church of God in Christ, Inc. I appreciate the vision of our great leader Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake Sr. to empower men not only spiritually and socially, but also economically. This has been the educational thrust in our yearly Men’s Conference. Although this conference was initially designed for the laity of the church, it has grown to serve men of every tier of leadership and denomination. We believe that in order to carry out the great commission of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we must educate for the purpose of gaining knowledge, applicable application, training and winning men to Christ. The conference has served as a tool that has allowed leaders to confer with laymen and for laymen to embrace leaders.

As we pursue and embrace this technological era, we are determined to utilize every facet that is given to us to help spread the Gospel as well as spread valuable information to the masses of men who are hungry for Jesus and His attributes.

We must always remember that God made man to be the head, which means strong leadership that is laced with the ability for provision for the sustaining of others. I do realize that many of us have experienced situations that were meant to destroy us as men, but God is the master builder and He knows how to rebuild broken lives.

I look forward to caring out the vision of God that has been given to our leader, Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake Sr. The men of the Church of God in Church have a promising future. We will continue to train and network to further the work of the Lord.

In Him,

Auxiliary Bishop Darrell L. Hines

Director of C.O.G.I.C. Men’s Department
