Archbishop Dennis Myles Golphin received his call in the ministry at an early
age and has been serving the Body of Christ for almost 60 years and has
become an international bible scholar and authority on early church history
and biblical exegesis. He is the oldest of three sons of the late Bishop Milledge
and Alice Golphin, of Baltimore, MD. He is also happily married to Lady
Sharon L. Golphin and is the father of five daughters and one son. As principal
celebrant in worship, Archbishop became an accomplished musician and
International Worship Leader for over 40 years. Having traveled much of the
world for over 36 years, he has a global perspective regarding his current and
future roles, and assignments.

In his youth, Archbishop came from a small local Pentecostal-Apostolic

tradition in Baltimore, MD where he cultivated a thirst to learn outside of his
culture, ethnicity, and faith traditions. This openness to knowledge from every
viable source has produced a cleric for this age in which we live and serves as
an example to be emulated. Archbishop Golphin has emerged as a leading
Biblical expert and he travels globally preparing leaders and training students.
Known as the Pastor’s Pastor and a spiritual father, his fame has spread and
grown over the years as he has established and helped establish churches,
ministries, and organizations along with birthing sons and daughters
worldwide.

Archbishop Golphin received his consecration to the episcopacy in the spring

of 1997 under the Gnostic Greek Orthodox Assembly in Johannesburg, South
Africa. He was later elevated as metropolitan archbishop in July 2014. Later,
he was given patriarchal status in May 2016.

Archbishop Golphin by way of scholarship and academic prowess has gained

experience and expertise in various areas of the ministry. He holds several
advanced degrees in ministry, theology, and literary Letters. He did not seek
these for vainglory or pride but were merely tools he believed could help him
the most in serving the kingdom of God.
He studied Reformed, Evangelical, and Pentecostal disciplines that would
advance him in kingdom building. His focus is on cultivating servant-leaders
in strategic areas to strengthen and edify the church.

To that end, Archbishop Golphin had to learn, not only to develop mastery
and expertise but the methods to share and educate. He became a master of
the art of simplification of profound theological themes and concepts.
Realizing knowledge, he gained had no value unless he could pass it on to
others, His motto became “Nothing is taught until something is
learned.”
