We are the Youth Department of the

Church of God in Christ

Esteemed as the largest Pentecostal denomination in the country, the Church of God In Christ (COGIC) carries a rich heritage and perennial legacy that should never be diminished, irrespective of how modern day society strives to suppress it. The Presiding Bishop, Bishop J. Drew Sheard, is transparent and forthright on the importance of the need to fully embrace that heritage and legacy to ensure it is safeguarded and passed into the care of the next generation of saints.
