Role and Responsibilities of the General Superintendent

The General Superintendent of the United Pentecostal Church International oversees all aspects of the organization, acting as a general manager for various divisions and ministries. This individual chairs the general conference and the general board, which are the highest governing bodies within the church structure. While managing these responsibilities, the General Superintendent does not act as a direct pastor to local churches; instead, each church operates independently, making their own decisions. This resembles a federal system where local districts have autonomy but remain connected through the central leadership.
