The
Full Gospel COGIC Story (Continued)
|
| |
|
Across
the years renovations have been made and additional land and buildings
have been purchased. Most recently, under
|
|
the guidance of the late Brother Walter
Meeks and the men and women of Full Gospel, we were able to bring to fruition
the
|
|
vision
of an elegant sanctuary with new furnishings. These renovations answer
the need for a multi-purpose facility
|
| where
weddings, banquets, and other fellowships are held in an atmosphere of utmost
elegance. |
|
|
| We
were chosen as one of America's best churches. Writer and researcher Paul
Wilkes searched the nation to find |
| exemplary
churches. Churches in which congregants come together not only for worship,
but also to impact the |
| community
in which they live. Wilkes says he found seventeen. One of them is Full
Gospel Church Of God In Christ, |
| pastored
by Bishop Chrales Brown. Wilkes says "he knew within minutes of stepping
inside, this church was special". |
| Differing,
boiling with energy, alive with hospitality, passionate about living the
Good News". "This is a place where |
| sinners
are welcome and God is hanging out", he said. Full Gospel was used
as an example when pastors and church |
| administrators
from all over the country came to New Orleans for a three day Pastoral Summit
on what makes churches |
| great. |
| |
| In
July 2001, we witnessed the Consecration of our leader, Bishop Charles E.
Brown, as Auxiliary Bishop of the Church |
| of
God In Christ. Bishop Charles Brown also serves as Assistant Bishop to his
uncle, Bishop Lindell B. Brown of the |
| Greater
New Orleans Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction of Louisiana. This event marked
a history making moment where uncle |
| and
nephew were consecrated in a dual ceremony of the Church Of God In Christ.
There were leaders and individuals |
| from
all denominations and organizations who decided not to miss this grand occasion.
|
| |
| Also
in July 2001, the Full Gospel Night Out Against Crime was recognized as
Number One in the nation and Bishop |
| Brown
received a special award that is only given to law enforcement personnel.
Bishop Brown is the only civilian to |
| receive
this award. |
| |
| And
the testimonies of abundance continue. Full Gospel was the recipient of
the Golden Hammer Award given by |
| Mayor
Marc Morial to churches that are making a difference in the city. ..
