The Academy Purpose and Mission
The Bible is replete with admonitions for believers to respect and honor Godly
leadership. One of the ways the Church of God in Christ accomplishes the admonitions
“to give honor to whom honor is due” and “in honor preferring one another”, is through
the National Adjutancy Corp. The Adjutancy is the servant ministry of the church and it is
composed of men and women of willing hearts who realize the value of “sanctifying” the
leaders of the church in the eyes of the people...
We are living in changing times, the call of the Servant (Adjutant) has evolved into more
than the basics of what you have learned over the years. The 2015 Adjutancy Academy
will help you tap into a new realm of servant leadership. We are excited about the
opportunity that we have to educate and prepare you to serve this generation of leaders.
The Adjutant General along with the Dean of the Adjutancy, Overseer Guy Glimp, STM.
and Assistant Dean of the Adjutancy, Dr. Doreatha J. Fields, have prepared each class
with you in mind; your purpose, your call, your ministry and your destiny. Think. Learn.
Grow.
