Bishop Jeffrey C. Woody 
Presiding Prelate

The Most Reverend Jeffrey C. Woody, the Establishmentarian of The Cathedral at The House and Refuge International Ministries, Inc. was prophesied over at birth by his pastor, the late Reverend Dr. James L. Best. He prophesied that he would be a help to the ministry and that God was going to use him. 

Bishop Woody faithfully served the ministry in various capacities as he was poured into by Dr. Best, and ultimately became his assistant. While he served, he received the mantle of prayer! As he was poured into, he developed an insatiable appetite for the deliverance of souls as he learned to wait in the presence of the Lord! 

Over the 20+ years of pastoring, Bishop Woody has developed programs and implemented initiatives that minister to the whole man. A prayer line exists to minister to the spirit man. An Accredited Bible College exists to enhance the natural man and also feed the spirit man. A food pantry and farmers market exist to feed the natural man. 

Bishop Woody has built upon the foundation lain by his predecessors and he believes in miracles, signs and wonders! His mantra is “There is a possibility!”
