 Message From Presider

I greet each of you in the wonderful name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  On behalf of the Board of Bishops, I want to thank you for taking the time to visit the official website of the Progressive Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Inc. It is our prayer that this website will serve as a helpful resource as you learn more about our faith, our churches, our history, and the work God is doing among us.

As Presiding Bishop, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve this organization and to help lead our churches forward in unity, truth, and purpose. The Progressive Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ is made up of local assemblies, pastors, leaders, and saints who are committed to upholding the Apostolic faith, strengthening the body of Christ, and reaching souls with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

While the world continues to change, we remain committed to preaching and teaching the Apostolic Doctrine without compromise. We believe in water baptism by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the reception of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, and the call to live a holy and sanctified life according to the Word of God.  As we face the challenges of today, we continue to look to the Scriptures for truth, direction, strength, and guidance. Our ultimate goal is to prepare souls to spend eternity with our Lord Jesus Christ.

I invite you to explore our website and learn more about the great things taking place throughout “Progressive.” We also welcome you to visit any of our Progressive Churches located throughout the United States, including South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and New York. Information about each church and its location can be found here on our website.

May the Lord bless you richly as you continue to seek Him.

Bishop Theodore Jenkins, Sr.
