FRANK ANTHONE WHITE is a third generation Church of God in Christ servant born the

eldest of five to the late Bishop Frank Otha White and Dr. Juliet L. White.

Bishop White’s ministerial career has progressively spanned a record of service from Sunday School

Instructor and Minister of Music to ultimately Pastor on the local level and–not unlike the tenure of

his father—nationally, from the Sunshine Band to the Bishopric.

Uninterrupted, the depth of his lifetime commitment to the Church of God in Christ for more

than 50 years is suitably complimented by an extensive transcript of scholarship from Five

Towns College of Music, C. W. Post College at Long Island University and

The MKWW Religious Training Institute. Closely concurrent with the completion of his

higher education and launching a thriving career as a Wall Street Executive, his divine

call to the Gospel ministry was acknowledged.

​

As Pastor of the landmark Zion Cathedral, Bishop White, a forward-thinking visionary,

spearheads its flourishing congregational growth through the facilitation of more than

45 fully operational ministries for the total man. As CEO of the Cedarmore Corporation,

he drives the improvement of educational, social and emotional development programs

for youth, representing the diverse population of families from the New York metropolitan

area to include:

• The Afterschool Enrichment Program

• The Big Brothers Summer Basketball Tournament

• The award-winning Young Entrepreneurs Program

• The Cynthia Roberts Youth Empowerment Series

• The Bishop Frank O. White Digital Learning Center

• The Ready Set Know Interactive Instruction Platform for personal

               development, self-esteem, goal-setting and relationships.

​

On the global stage, Bishop White's cosmopolitan portfolio includes recognition

among The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Board of Preachers at Morehouse College,

the senior faculty of MKWW Religious Training Institute and guest lectureships at

Cornell University and Queens College. Ecumenically, Bishop White's demand has

welcomed his proclamation of the Gospel at Madison Square Garden,

The 375th Convocation of the First Presbyterian Church, Sacred Heart's Roman Catholic

Church of Jesus and Mary, St. John's Episcopal Church and as Noonday Speaker at

The 105th Annual Hampton University Ministers' Conference.

​

Bishop White has served the National Church as Vice President of the International

Department of Music and National Trustee Board Member. The sacred occasion of the 104th International Holy Convocation celebrated his Episcopal Consecration at the hands of Bishop Charles Edward Blake Sr. to the Office of Auxiliary Bishop. On April 4, 2017 at Church of God in Christ World Headquarters, the recommendation of Presiding Bishop Charles Edward Blake, Sr. and the General Board was ratified by the General Assembly, officially confirming Bishop White’s appointment as Jurisdictional Prelate of the New York Eastern Third Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, Church of God in Christ, Inc. Upon the fulfillment of his four distinguished terms as Financial Secretary of the Church of God in Christ, during the 116th International Holy Convocation, Bishop White was elected to the General Board of the Church of God in Christ, Inc.

A published author, Zero Tolerance: Telling the Truth in A Culture Where Anything Goes (2019) and Trust: The Currency of the Kingdom (2024), Bishop White's bold and passionate commitment to the body of Christ is invigorated by the personal blessing and devoted support of his mother, Dr. Juliet L. White, his only son and daughter-in-love, Pastor & Mrs. J. K. White and grandson, Jeremiah.
