Dr. Judith Christie-McAllister sets a shining example of what it means to be a worshipper, in that she glorifies God in every aspect of her life – bringing him honor through her public ministry and in her private life. Dr. McAllister is probably best known for her impact in the arena of Praise & Worship, as she is considered one of the forerunners of the Praise & Worship movement in the African American Church. Having served for 17 years as Worship Leader at the West Angeles Church of God in Christ (under the exemplary leadership of pastor, visionary and now Presiding Bishop of the COGIC International, Bishop Charles E. Blake), and 13 years under her belt as the church’s Executive Director of Music & Worship Arts Department, she developed a style and approach to Praise & Worship that has earned her accolades from Coast to Coast. Dr. McAllister also serves in the capacity of Vice-President of the International Music Department for the COGIC. As a devoted wife, a dedicated mother to three beautiful children - Michael Judah, Christina Exousia-Zoe’ and Destiny Imani - as a Minister of the gospel, Worship Leader, Producer, Songwriter and Gospel Artist, Dr. McAllister is truly a woman of diversity who continues to move into the fullness of all that God has destined her to be.
