Bishop David and Sister Sonja Kemp began their ministry in Michigan in August 2025. They bring with them a wealth of experience, leadership, and a deep passion for serving the Church of God. Bishop Kemp previously served as a highly successful pastor in Fort Mill, South Carolina, before transitioning to the South Carolina State Office as the Evangelism and Ministries Director.
In 2018, the Kemps were appointed to the North Central Region (NCR), where Bishop Kemp served as Administrative Bishop and Sister Sonja led in Women’s Ministries. During their time in the NCR, they faithfully ministered to Church of God congregations across North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana. In 2022, they accepted the call to Illinois to serve in the same roles of Administrative Bishop and Women's Ministry Director.
Most recently, on August 1, 2025, the Kemps arrived in Michigan to continue their service in these same roles—Bishop David Kemp as the State Administrative Bishop and Sister Sonja Kemp as the Women's Ministry Director. Their leadership reflects a deep commitment to leadership, mentorship, spiritual growth, community development, and kingdom impact.

 ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’
 Says the LORD of hosts."
