Bishop William A. Prioleau

William A. Prioleau received Jesus Christ as his savior at an early age, and even then, he knew God was calling him to special service. He accepted his call to ministry in 1966 and was ordained in 1973. While living in Philadelphia, PA, he became a student and graduated from the American Bible College Extension Program.

As a servant leader, Bishop Prioleau has served the South Carolina Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction in various capacities. He has served as the First Administrative Assistant, Chairman of Budget and Finance, Southeastern District Superintendent, and current Pastor of Evening of Prayer COGIC, which has become a ministry with multimillion-dollar assets and initiated numerous social and mission programs.
 
Bishop Prioleau serves with humility, love, patience, and obedience to the direction of the Holy Spirit. He is a man of prayer, the Word, vision, and purpose. Serving as a mentor, spiritual father, and influencer to those within the Body of Christ, he is well respected in his community. He is known for his genuine care for the souls and well-being of others. Truly anointed to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and minister to the needs of people, his soul-enriching messages effectively deliver healing, strength, and comfort.
 
Bishop Prioleau is a family man. He has been happily married to his lovely wife and best friend, Evangelist Ena M. Prioleau, for 58 years. Together, they have four children: William Lamar, Ena Nicole, Andrea, and Tabitha.

Bishop Prioleau genuinely cares about the greater good of the South Carolina Jurisdiction and considers it an honor and privilege to serve as its Jurisdictional Prelate. He earnestly desires to continue developing the Jurisdiction for Kingdom purposes by leading with love and prayer.
