Our Pastor

Bishop Lillian A. Thompson

Senior Pastor

At the age of 12, she received Jesus as her Lord and Savior and was baptized. It was prophesied that she would be different from other children and at that time the call of God was made prevalent in her life. Being led by the Holy Spirit, Pastor Bolden and her mother,

Prophetess Rush began teaching her God’s word. In 1973, after much training and development Bishop Thompson gave her trial sermon and has been teaching and preaching God’s Word for 49 years  

In 1980, the enemy tried to take her out at the age of 19 years old while she was attending college, but God’s restoring power brought her out! She became stronger because of this tragedy. What the devil meant for bad, God now uses it for His glory on her journey. In that same year she was licensed as a Missionary while serving faithfully at Zion Temple Holiness Church.  

Pastor Bolden appointed her to lead different ministries of the church, serving as the Church Secretary, Choir Director, leading Devotion Services and Youth President.  She was a faithful and devoted member to Zion Temple Holiness Church. 

In 1995, with the leading of God, she resigned from Zion Temple Holiness Church and in 1996 she joined Bible Truth and Deliverance under the leadership of the late Pastor Jesse B. Garrett Sr., and present Pastor, Prophetess Cheryl Garrett. During her tenure at Bible Truth and Deliverance, Missionary Thompson spoke God’s word, assisted with the Devotion Services, directed the Choir and taught Sunday School and in 2006 she was elevated to an Evangelist. She was faithful and devoted to this ministry for 14 years. 

In 2010, Evangelist Thompson became a member of The Holy Ghost Church of God Purchased with His Blood under the leadership of Pastor Larry Seaberry. She served faithfully in many areas of the ministry that Pastor Seaberry needed her to fill in. In January 2012, she was ordained as an Elder by Bishop L.J. Hicks and Bishop Isaac Andrews Jr., under The Holy Ghost Church of God Purchased with his Blood.  

While serving at The Holy Ghost Church of God Purchased With His Blood, Saint Petersburg, she continued to serve and work diligently in the ministry where she served as the Lead Intercessor, praying until results and changes happened. Elder Thompson is a very authoritative speaker, a true Woman of God, who stands bold and firm teaching and preaching the word of God and has seen the power of God SAVE, HEAL and DELIVER! She takes her calling and works of God very seriously.   

In January 2013, through much prayer and being led by God, the Board of Directors made known that Elder Lillian Thompson will Pastor The Holy Ghost Church of God Purchased With His Blood, St. Petersburg and in May 2013 Elder Lillian A. Thompson was officially installed as Pastor by Bishop Robert L. Young and Bishop Bruce Moore Sr.  

In the last 9 years of Pastoring, she has shown evidence of God’s approval and implementing visionary ideas to bring growth and development to the ministry. God has Blessed and Anointed Pastor Thompson to operate in Miracles, Signs, and Wonders, where healing and deliverance ministry are in effect. The hand and the favor of God rest upon this ministry promoting spiritual growth through the saints of God, both young and old.  

Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Presiding Bishop Isaac Andrews Jr., called out Pastor Lillian A. Thompson to the Episcopacy as Bishop-Designate of The Holy Ghost Church of God Purchased with His Blood, Inc. And with joyful hearts, the Leaders and The  Holy Ghost P.W.H.B. Fellowship received her. 

After extensive training through the College of Bishops and Catechism, October 28th 2017, Bishop-Designate Lillian A. Thompson was Consecrated as Bishop and Appointed as the First Assistant Presiding Bishop of The Holy Ghost Church of God Purchased With His Blood Fellowship. 

Bishop Lillian A. Thompson strives to stay humble and respectful before the body of Christ. Her assignment is clear, to compel, to prepare, and to promote through the elements of prayer and praise.  Bishop Thompson’s unique style has privileged her to minister to many; being a voice for the kingdom, a preserver of Pentecost and her life’s mandate to Change Lives, Heal Hearts and Save Souls.

Bishop Thompson is a loving helpmate to her husband, (Minister Willie Thompson) and is the proud mother of three daughters and the grandmother of two.  Her quote is “We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us”.
