Unprecedented times demand and require courageous leadership that awakens purpose in others. Mother Barbara Bryant — the newly appointed Jurisdictional Supervisor of Southern California First Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction’s Department of Women — has answered the call to empower the largest, multifaceted women’s department in the Church of God in Christ (COGIC) denomination.
Barbara Bryant truly relishes proclaiming the power of God and she’s been faithfully spreading that message for more than 25 years. In April 2021, Bryant was appointed jurisdictional supervisor/state mother for the Department of Women by Bishop Joe L. Ealy, presiding prelate of the SoCal First. One of her main duties is instructing women in the jurisdiction’s 200+ churches to grow ministries through prayer and evangelism.
His decision to not seek reelection with the national COGIC does not affect his pastoring in Los Angeles.
