About Dr. Cordon
Superintendent Dr. Gary L. Cordon, Sr.
A pastor, teacher, author, superintendent, and builder committed to helping people grow in Christ, leaders serve faithfully, and churches become stronger.
For more than four decades, Dr. Cordon has given his life to preaching the Gospel, developing leaders, strengthening churches, teaching the Word of God, and building ministry systems that help truth become practice.
The Ministry Assignment
Preach Truth. Develop People. Build What Helps Them Grow.
Dr. Cordon’s ministry is built around a demanding conviction: biblical truth should not merely be heard—it should be understood, lived, taught, and reproduced in others. His work joins preaching with discipleship, leadership with accountability, spiritual formation with practical systems, and church ministry with community impact.
“You get what you ask for, but you keep what you understand.”

A Ministry Journey of Building
Dr. Cordon’s pastoral journey reaches back to 1983, when he was appointed to Macedonia Church of God in Christ. That assignment became part of a larger journey of rebuilding, founding, developing, and expanding ministry through Victory Temple Church of God in Christ, The Evidence Church 1, and later The Evidence Church 2.
Across those years, the emphasis has remained larger than buildings or programs. The work is about developing people: winning souls, helping believers remain faithful, equipping disciples to understand Scripture, preparing leaders to serve, and creating systems that help ministry continue with clarity and excellence.
The Mission
Win Souls, Keep Souls, Train Souls to Win Souls!
