Leadership

Pastor Michael Cooper II is a spiritual leader, visionary, and entrepreneur with a profound passion for kingdom-building. His journey of faith began at a young age, nurtured by his family’s deep roots in the church and also in the community.

As the son of the late Suffragan Bishop Michael Cooper, Sr., and Elect Lady Tobi Cooper, he was raised in a deeply religious and community-oriented household, instilling in him a profound sense of faith, compassion, and service.

After the passing of his father in 2023, the mantle of leadership fell upon Elder Cooper’s shoulders. His elevation to the esteemed position of pastor at Greater Christ Temple was a testament to the trust and confidence vested in him, a choice affirmed wholeheartedly by both the Board of Directors and the congregation through a unanimous decision. In July of 2024, Pastor Cooper was elevated to the office of District Elder in the Ohio District Council of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc.

Pastor Cooper is married to the lovely First Lady Khalea, a minister and entrepreneur as well. Together, they are the proud parents to Michael III (“True”), Mason, Miles, and their angel in heaven, Khaelyn.

Building upon the legacy of his father and the great pastors before him, Pastor Cooper continues to lead the congregation toward new heights and strives to create lasting impact in the Lima community.
