(ChurchLeaders) Up to 30 leaders in the church, including two out of the 12 board members, have passed away as a result of complications from the coronavirus, according to Bishop Brandon B. Porter of the COGIC General Board.

The leadership of the Church of God in Christ (COGIC), a predominantly African American denomination, has been hit particularly hard by COVID-19. COGIC was founded in 1897 and is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. It currently has six million members.

Regarding the other COVID-related deaths in the denomination, Porter said, “Either the first lady of the church has passed, a deacon, or a church mother or a younger person in the church has passed.”
