Our Founder And Senior Paster
Bishop Loretha Wilson – Founder & Senior Pastor Founder of Gospel Prayer Band Church of Jesus Christ (est. 1994)
Bishop Loretha Wilson was called by God at a young age to preach His Word. She walks faithfully in her divine calling under the fivefold ministry described in Ephesians 4:11–12, serving as a vessel for the perfecting of the saints and the edifying of the Body of Christ.
“And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”
She is a worshipper, mentor, virtuous servant, and powerful intercessor with a heart full of love and compassion for God’s people. Her ministry is marked by prayer, prophetic teaching, and steadfast devotion to Christ.
Bishop Wilson stands beside her devoted husband, Elder Clinton Wilson, serving together in unity and grace. She is a loving mother and grandmother whose life reflects her message:
“Follow me as I follow Christ.”
