MEMPHIS, TN, UNITED STATES, October 31, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Church Of God In Christ (COGIC), one of the largest Pentecostal denominations in the world, will convene its 117th Holy Convocation in Memphis, Tennessee, November 4–11, 2025.

This sacred annual assembly will feature dynamic worship services, training institutes, prayer gatherings, and community-focused outreach initiatives—anchored by the denomination’s long-standing commitment to faith, fellowship, and service.

The Convocation will launch with a massive community outreach event, “Christmas In November,” on Saturday, November 1, from 10 AM to 3 PM, hosted at Greater Community Temple Church Of God In Christ, 5151 Winchester Road, Memphis, TN.
This signature initiative—led by Presiding Bishop J. Drew Sheard aims to bring tangible hope and relief to underserved families. Memphis residents will receive free food, toys, clothing, appliances, and health services, reflecting the church’s ongoing mission to serve others.

Throughout the Holy Convocation, COGIC will also host its Health Fair from Wednesday, November 5, through Saturday, November 8, 2025, offering free medical services, including blood pressure screenings, COVID-19 testing and boosters, consultations with licensed medical professionals, and other vital health checks. Both Convocation attendees and local residents will have access to these resources.

“The Holy Convocation is more than just a church gathering—it’s a movement of faith, unity, and compassion,” said Bishop J. Drew Sheard, Presiding Bishop of the Church Of God In Christ. “As we come together in worship and fellowship, we are also called to serve. Through outreach efforts like Christmas In November and the Health Fair, we demonstrate that our faith is not confined to the sanctuary—it’s lived out in the community.”

This year’s Convocation will feature powerful worship experiences, inspiring messages from international church leaders, and the spirit-filled fellowship that has defined the Church Of God In Christ for more than a century.
