Presiding National Overseer Bishop Dr. Maurice A Jones has cast a vision for the national church – ‘To Motivate, Multiply and Maximize our Ministries and Membership by 70.’ At the heart of this vision is to see the Church of God of Prophecy in Trinidad and Tobago increase in positive organisational pride; become a self-supporting nation; develop 40 healthy local churches and comprise a membership of 5,000 persons by 2024 – the national church’s 70 anniversary. In pursuit of Vision 70, the church in Trinidad and Tobago has launched its National Choir and National Steel Orchestra and has completed significant renovation work at the Multi-Purpose Complex, where the new National Office will be housed.
