A NEW VISION IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Elder Patterson is the President of the Pentecostal Temple Church of God in Christ Youth Department and the District YPWW President of the Pentecostal District of Headquarters Jurisdiction of Memphis, Tennessee. He is blessed with a rich heritage and his connection with the church begins with its’ inception.

He is the great-grandson of our founding father, Elder Charles Harrison Mason, the person for whom he was named and he is the grandson of our first elected Presiding Bishop, Bishop J. O. Patterson, Sr., and Mrs. Deborah Mason Patterson. The leadership that his family has provided to the church didn’t end with the demise of his grandfather for, shortly after he went home to be with the Lord, his father, Bishop J. O. Patterson, Jr., was elected to the office of Vice-Chairman of the General Assembly. Bishop Patterson now serves the church as Chairman of the General Assembly.
