Bishop
Lang Priester pastors the Progressive Church in
Charlotte, North Carolina. Standing firm on God’s truth, he is convincing many to seek first
the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all things shall be added
unto them. In 1959, Pastor Priester was baptized in Jesus’ name at age sixteen, and received the Holy Ghost six days later. He immediately involved himself in the church; his love for Sunday School inspired him to study diligently. He began teaching Sunday School and later was appointed Superintendent. He was Quiz Master for the Youth Department, became Church Secretary, regular Conductor for Saturday Night Prayer Service, Tambourine Player, and Chairman of the Boys Club. He was a faithful Senior Choir member until it was evident that the Lord had something else for him to do. After his tour of duty in the Armed Forces, Pastor Priester was united in marriage to Sister Agatha Legette in 1966. God blessed them with Pastor Priester’s request for six sons. In 1972, he was sent to pastor the church in Charlotte. After several years, he was ordained Elder during the National Convocation in 1973. He organized and taught in the J. D. Williams Bible Institute. Pastor
Priester has served the National church in several capacities: He
has been a
District Elder, member of the Board of Presbyters, member of the Advisory Council
to the Presiding Bishop, member of the National Planning Committee. During
the Annual Holy Convocation in 2000, Bishop Edward Smith appointed Pastor
Priester to serve a two-year term as Chairman of the Advisory Council.
Pastor Priester chaired the Council from 2000 - 2002.
