Bishop Edward T. Cook became our Bishop in 2009. Quite the trail blazer, he has a growing list of "firsts" to his credit as Jurisdictional Prelate. He instituted annual recognition of the service and contributions of spiritual warriors serving on the front lines of ministry. He began his administration as Prelate with travels to cities and hamlets throughout the state to listen to the old and young, men and women about their views of the needs of the jurisdiction. The training opportunities he has made available have not been surpassed in quality, quantity, or accessibility. He led breakthrough revivals throughout Ohio to elevate our corporate state of readiness to be blessed and used of God. He is yet opening new vistas, holding up the blood stained banner, and giving God the glory.
Bishop Cook has recognized and brought out the best in those under his charge. He knows how to stir up "the gift. He is not limited by any one media or venue. He is an effective communicator, whether writing books, ministering, texting, emailing, publishing, broadcasting, one-on-one, lecturing in small or large group settings. etc. You name it- Bishop Cook studies and excels. He is a leader among leaders. He and inimitable dazzling First Lady Sheila L. Cook are caring, concerned and given to hospitality.
