ChurchNews Pastor Sherman Gordon Appointed to Key Post in Global United Fellowship he Global United Fellowship under the leadership of Bishop Neil C. Ellis, Presiding Prelate has appointed Dr. Sherman A. Gordon, Senior Pastor of Family of Faith Christian Center (F.O.F.C.C.) in Long Beach as leader of the South Pacific Province, which encompasses the states of California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Hawaii. Said Gordon, “ I am honored to be part of Global United Fellowship and proud to serve and join the international body of spiritual leaders committed to developing pastors and churches around the globe.” In his post, Gordon will implement the five-fold vision of Bishop Neil C. Ellis “to Unite, Equip, Enhance, Resurrect, and Build” the body of Christ. Rebuilding and restoring lives across generations, gender, race, culture and ethnicity, Gordon organized Family of Faith Christian Center in 2010. Maintaining that members are not joining a church, but instead they are joining a family, he has seen the church grow by leaps and bounds. “The church,” he says, “stresses kinship over membership.”
