United Church of God Incorporated

United Church of God Incorporated Founded in 1916 by Elder T.C. Marshall, the United Church of God, Inc. Campbell. United Church of God, Inc. – A Brief History

The United Church of God, Inc.

(formerly Church of God Colored) has over 35 churches and is headquartered in Greensboro, NC, led by Presiding Prelate Bishop Claude L. traces its roots to 1916, when Elder T.C. Marshall united a small group of Christian believers in Mt. Gilead, North Carolina. Starting with services held outdoors, the group soon built a brush arbor and, in 1917, constructed their first church—St. Luke Church of G

od (Colored). Following Elder Marshall’s death, Elder K.D. Christian became the first Senior Bishop, and the church headquarters moved to Albemarle, NC. Under his leadership, the first church assembly convened in 1928, marking the beginning of a growing multistate presence, eventually reaching New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and D.C. Successive bishops—P.L. Ledbetter, J.A. Jackson, O.C. Crone, Dan Hayes, and James Leak—oversaw continued expansion. In 1962, the organization’s name was officially changed to the United Church of God, Inc. The headquarters later moved to Greensboro, NC, where the Convention Center and Mt. Zion United Church of God were built. Bishop Samuel Leak, Sr., succeeded his father and led the church through land acquisitions and major building expansions. He was followed by Bishop E.H. Bain, Bishop Marvin D. Williams, and Bishop Claude L. Campbell, under whose leadership the Convention Center became debt-free. Today, the United Church of God, Inc. continues to grow, grounded in over a century of spiritual leadership and community building.
