As a longtime member of The Grand Old Church Of God In Christ (1962-Present), Bishop Pellum has unwaveringly and tenaciously supported the vision by promoting the work of the Lord. In the world where loyalty and legacy are minimized, without reservation, he has given time, talents, resources, and spiritual depth to ensure the success of the church. He has served as an Administrative Assistant in Western Georgia (Bishop John Franklin Thomas), Southern Georgia 2nd Bishop John W. Leggett, Bishop Jack Stephens, and Bishop C.J. Hix; along with serving as Chairman over the Superintendent Board. Prior to serving in Southern Georgia 2nd, Bishop Pellum moved from Idlewild, Michigan where he was the Assistant Pastor under his father, the Late Superintendent John C. Pellum from 1962-1974 at Mt. Olive Church Of God In Christ. He was ordained in 1965 by the Late Bishop C.J. Johnson. Having been a celebrated Pastor for more than fifty- five years, he currently pastors Refreshing COGIC, Decatur, GA and Mt. Olive COGIC, Idlewild, MI.

He received a Doctorate of Divinity in Theological Studies, all while ardently supporting the International Department of Missions of the Church Of God In Christ, having contributed generously to the Foreign mission churches most notably in India and South Africa; along with being one of the dedicated saints that contributed to the Leila Mason Home in Memphis, TN. His philanthropic efforts have also extended into the educational arena as he promotes the work and efforts of the Interdenominational Theological Center in Georgia and Saints Junior College in Lexington, MS where two of his children attended. Bishop Pellum is the husband to Geraldine Pellum of 66 years, father of 3 children (Elder David Pellum, Fred Pellum and District Missionary Janice Pellum-Gardner).
