TAMPA, FL, UNITED STATES, December 3, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Church Of God In Christ (COGIC), the country's largest Pentecostal denomination, is honored to host its General Board Summit in Tampa, Florida, from December 2-3.

Representing over 13,000 congregations across more than 106 countries, COGIC’s newly elected leaders, new appointees, and returning officials will convene to strategize and align on the denomination’s continued efforts to expand its global mission, empower communities, and strengthen its ministries.
