BREAKING NEWS: THANK YOU FOR ELECTING ME PRESIDENT OF THE SAINT LOUIS METROPOLITAN CLERGY COALITION!

Wow! I give GOD the praise! Today I was elected (unanimous vote) as president of the St. Louis Metropolitan Clergy Coalition (SLMCC). SLMCC is the oldest and largest minority clergy association in St. Louis. It is made up of hundreds of churches and pastors from all denominations and those of no denominational affiliation!

This year (2017) marks the 30th year that the Coalition has been in existence. It was noted, in the election meeting today, that this is the first time that a Church Of God In Christ, Inc. clergyman has been elected to lead this prestigious group. Next year will mark 20 years that I have been a member of the Coalition.

Those that desire to run for office in the Coalition must be presented to the nomination committee. The nomination committee does its due diligence in screening applicants and then presenting those who qualify to the parent body. The parent body then votes on those qualifying candidates. I am truly grateful for everyone being so supportive throughout this process; including my wife, children, church family, jurisdictional family and Department of Evangelism family.

Rev. Dr. Charles Brown currently serves as president and has done an outstanding job; especially first coming into office, in the heat of "Ferguson." Dr. Brown is the pastor of the Mt. Airy Missionary Baptist Church.

My term begins January 1st, 2018. And, the installation service information is forthcoming! Congrats are also in order for all new officers, who also officially begin working January 1:

Bishop Elijah H. Hankerson III, President
Rev. Carl Smith, 1st Vice President
Rev. Chuck Norris, 2nd Vice President
Rev. Birch, Secretary
Rev. Burton Barr, Treasurer
Dr. Ronald L. Bobo, Sr., Chaplain and Parliamentarian

God gets all of the praise and all of the glory! #SLMCC
