International Board of Bishops

“We Are Better Together”

Welcome to Our Digital World!

AND

The Board of Bishops serves as one of the highest ecclesiastical governing bodies within the Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ (COOLJC) of the Apostolic Faith, Inc. Composed of duly consecrated Bishops from throughout the national and international fellowship, the Board provides spiritual oversight, doctrinal integrity, and administrative guidance to ensure the Church remains aligned with the apostolic mission and biblical foundation upon which it was established.

As spiritual shepherds and leaders, the Bishops collectively support and strengthen the Church’s infrastructure by fostering unity among clergy, promoting theological soundness, and advancing the overall mission of the COOLJC. The Board functions as a collaborative and consultative body, charged with both spiritual and organizational leadership across all levels of the Church.

Service to All Mankind

Serving all mankind is both a divine calling and a reflection of God’s love within us. When we extend kindness, compassion, and help to others, without judgment or prejudicie, we honor the truth that every soul is created in God’s image. True service is not limited to great acts, but shines in simple gestures of love, encouragement, and care. In serving others, we serve God Himself, becoming vessels of His light and instruments of His peace in the world.
