Dear Saints,
“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints.”
Psalm 116:15
This notice of Episcopal Transition is as per the directive of our Presiding Bishop & Chief Apostle, Bishop Charles Edward Blake, Sr.
God, who is omnipotent and omniscient, has summoned His Servant, Bishop Timothy Titus Scott, Sr., to eternal rest. As Prelate of the Northern Mississippi Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, Bishop T. T. Scott had the distinction as the longest serving Jurisdictional Prelate in the Church Of God In Christ; serving nearly 50 years. Bishop T. T. Scott is an icon of fatherly leadership, humble servitude, and unwavering faith.
During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic resulting in local and state restrictions on public gatherings to achieve social distancing, the Scott family will hold a private memorial service for this valiant soldier of the Gospel. When the restrictions are lifted, a date will be set for a National Memorial Service that will appropriately recognize the godly life and notable achievements of Bishop Timothy Titus Scott, Sr.
During this time of uncertainty, we request the continued prayers as well as acts of emotional and spiritual support for the family. It is with great honor that the National Adjutancy will assist the Scott family and the Northern Mississippi Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction during this most difficult time.
“Blessed be the God, even the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.” 2 Corinthians 1:3
Sanctifying the Leader, I Am,
Bishop Robert G. Rudolph, Jr.
Adjutant General
