Gary Longo
Bishop MS District
I have been in ministry since 1981 after being delivered from addictions to tobacco and alcohol.
I took out license with the Pentecostal Church of God in 1982 and was ordained in 1986.
My first pastoral position was in Vicksburg, MS where I pastored for five years. Afterwards I was elected as pastor of Trinity Gospel Fellowship in March of 1995, where I still serve as pastor.
I served as a sectional presbyter with the MS District Pentecostal Church of God for many years until I was elected as the state Secretary and Treasurer, which I served for a total of fifteen years.
I was then elected to the office of District Bishop in 2010. I’m currently still serving in that position with the MS District Pentecostal Church of God.
I am a member of the National General Board of the Pentecostal Church of God.
