The Southern District Convocation Goldsboro (commonly known as SDC or SDCG), is the oldest and largest district in the United Holy Church of America. [1] Its headquarters is located at 201 N. Oak Forest Road, in Goldsboro, North Carolina, off of NC Highway 70 East.
The district has churches across eastern North Carolina, as well as Southwestern and Western Virginia.
The Southern District Convocation of the United Holy Church of America was founded in the year 1894 in the city of Durham, North Carolina. It was organized by Elders C.C. Craig, L.M. Mason, George W. Roberts, H.C. Snipes, and H.C. Pettiford, along with Mother E.E. Craig, and Mrs. L.J. Roberts. Elder L.M. Mason was chosen as its first president. [4]
During the Quadrennial Session in 1966-1977, then Presiding Prelate, Bishop J.A. Forbes and the Southern District Convocation withdrew from fellowship with the parent body. Various members from different districts stood alongside the Southern District in 1978 in Raleigh at the Memorial Auditorium, where the Original United Holy Church International, Inc. was charted. Forbes was unanimously elected general president, and continued to lead the Southern District Convocation. However, several churches in and around Henderson, North Carolina, and one in Zebulon, North Carolina, remained loyal to the United Holy Church of America and remained as members. These churches later formed a district that became known as Southern District Henderson.
Due to illness, Bishop Forbes retired from both the general church and the Southern District Convocation, with his vice president, Bishop H.-W. Fields succeeding him in 1984. Bishops S.G. McCoy and Samuel David Clemons served as vice presidents successively. Fields served until 1996 when he was named president-emeritus.
In 1996, Bishop Ralph E. Love, Sr. of Greenville was elected president. He pastored in the Southern District and presided in the Virginia District Convocation of the Original United Holy Church International. He began a Mid-Year Conference early in his tenure. He also began the restructuring of the district and rebuilding its building fund. Plans were also made to build a new tabernacle.
Bishops Love, Ralph Houston of Los Angeles, California, general president of the Original United Holy Church International, Odell McCollum of Columbus, Ohio, general president of the United Holy Church of America began pointed negotiations concerning a merger. Years later, the leaders of the fractions and the parent body came to an agreement by late 1998. In May 2000 in the city of Greensboro, North Carolina, the Southern District Convocation was reunited with the connectional body.
Bishop Love served the Southern District for over two decades. Bishops S.D. Clemons, Harry L. Cohen (current Presiding Prelate and General Bishop of the General Church), and Quincy Gardner, and Devin C. Pickett have served as Vice Presidents during his administration. Bishop Leamon Dudley, as well as former Vice Presidents Bishops Quincy Gardner, Devin C. Pickett, have served as 2nd Vice Presidents during his administration. He has also produced the first female Bishop in the history of the district, Bishop Ernestine McGee.
Following the death of Vice President Bishop Quincy Gardner in 2019, Bishop Devin C. Pickett, Sr., assumed the role of Vice President of the Southern District Convocation Goldsboro.
In 2021, two years following the death of Vice President Bishop Quincy Gardner, Bishop Ralph. E. Love, Sr., passed away. Bishop Devin C. Pickett, Sr. then assumed the role of Presiding Prelate and President of the Southern District Convocation Goldsboro.
Former aide to the Presiding Prelate, Bishop Christopher C. Brown, II., whom had multiple roles on the district in local levels of the Church, assumed the role of Vice President of the Southern District Convocation Goldsboro, becoming a consecrated Bishop during the 46th Annual Convocation of the United Holy Church of America, Inc., in May 2022.
The beliefs of the Southern District Convocation Goldsboro, are that of the United Holy Church of America are written in its Affirmation of Faith. [6] It is structured in a call and response format (the leader of the reading is bolded). It is often recited in various churches as part of the order of worship in gatherings. It was revised in May of 2022. [5]
During the leadership of Bishop Ralph E. Love, Sr., he and his administration built the multi-million dollar Love Temple Headquarters. This state-of-the-art headquarters sits on more than a dozen acres of land on the edge of Goldsboro, off of NC Highway 70 East. The headquarters has a 2000 plus-seat auditorium, which has been used by Wayne Community College for many of their commencement ceremonies.
The district hosts multiple gatherings throughout the entire year, majority of them being hosted at the Love Temple Headquarters, located in Goldsboro, North Carolina, off of NC Highway 70 East.
The Southern District Convocation Goldsboro, consists of eight sub-districts:
