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 complemented 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. In 2023, New York State Governor Kathy Hochul appointed Bishop White to serve on the newly formed New York State Interfaith Advisory Council.


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.
