About The Historic First Jurisdiction of Argentina of the COGIC
ARGENTINA MISSIONS DIRECTOR
Pastor Jay C. Burns serves as the Missions Director for the Historic First Jurisdiction of Argentina under the Church of God in Christ World Missions Department. A visionary leader, he has been entrusted with the task of rebuilding and reestablishing the Church of God in Christ throughout Argentina—reviving a jurisdiction that had been dormant for years and reigniting a new wave of ministry expansion across South America.
In addition to his appointment in Argentina, Pastor Burns also serves as the Public Relations Director for COGIC World Missions, helping to advance the denomination's global communication and media initiatives.
Domestically, Pastor Burns serves as the pastor of Covenant Missionary Temple COGIC in Michigan, a growing ministry recognized for its vibrant worship, community engagement, and strong teaching foundation. Through his leadership, Covenant has become a hub for both spiritual renewal and practical empowerment—raising leaders who serve in ministry, education, and missions.
Pastor Burns is known for his strategic vision, passionate preaching, and global perspective. His ministry emphasizes not just church growth, but holistic transformation—spiritually, socially, and economically. Whether in the pulpit, the mission field, or the boardroom, his purpose remains the same: to build people, empower leaders, and advance the Kingdom of God across nations.
