COGASOC Hagerstown, MD
Stone of Truth
Pastor, Evangelist Mark A. Guy Sr.
Pastor Mark A. Guy serves with humility, dedication, and a life long commitment to the Word of GOD. Raised in the Church of GOD and Saints of Christ (COGASOC), he was nurtured in the faith from an early age under the guidance of his father, the late Chief Evangelist Royal Guy, who instilled in him a deep love for GOD, the Church, and the work of the ministry.
Pastor Guy was baptized in 1965 and became a devoted member of COGASOC, continuing his spiritual preparation by graduating from the Church’s Bible Training School in 1968. These early foundations strengthened his understanding of Scripture and helped shape his calling to serve GOD’s people.
In 1976, Pastor Guy entered into Holy Matrimony with Sister Elder St. Charlene Saunders Guy. Together, they have been blessed with four children and have built a family grounded in faith, love, and service. After many years of faithful labor and dedication to the Church, Evangelist Mark Guy was re-ordained into the Gospel Ministry of Jesus Christ and re-commissioned with the national Church of GOD and Saints of Christ in Ethanim (October) 2002 under the leadership of Bishop Robert Dennis Grant. Since that time, he has continued to serve with compassion, humility, and unwavering commitment to his calling. Through decades of faithful membership, spiritual growth, and pastoral leadership, Pastor Guy remains devoted to advancing the mission of the Church of GOD and Saints of Christ while faithfully shepherding GOD’s people.
