George Warren Manigault, II, was born on December 11, 1950 to George and Elizabeth Manigault, in Chelsea, MA.  He along with his three sisters, and three brothers were raised in Roxbury and Dorchester Massachusetts most of their lives with the exception of a brief stint in South Carolina, and California.  Because of his father’s military background, the family moved around a lot.  As a result, Warren learned to be very disciplined at an early age.

At the age of 17, through the preaching and teaching of the word through the late Pastor E. M.  Kelly,  Warren decided that he needed a change in his life and accepted the Lord as his personal savior at the Way of The Cross Holy Church in Dorchester, MA.

While serving at The Way of The Cross Church, Warren met the woman he would spend the rest of his life with (Catherine A.  McCray)!  On January 3, 1970, he married the love of his life.  From this union came two children George Warren III (Julie), Shekinah Aleah, and three grandchildren Josiah, and Adrianna, and Angelique.  He is a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, who tries to spend as much time as possible with his family.

In the winter of 1974, the now Deacon Manigault was led to move his family’s church affiliation to The Holy Tabernacle Church of God In Christ Apostolic, Inc., under the leadership of the late Bishop Dr. Joe L. Smith.  Under Bishop Smith’s leadership Deacon Manigault’s ministry was nurtured and as a result flourished and grew.  He was called into the ministry in 1980, and was later ordained to the office of Elder on January 19, 1982

After serving faithfully as Elder, Musician, and Teacher for about 20 years.  Elder Manigault was elevated to the office of Pastor in September of 1994 by the late Bishop Dr. Joe L. Smith.  On the first Sunday in October of 1994,  Pastor Manigault along with his wife, children and 8 members from the Holy Tabernacle’s Dorchester congregation,  founded the Holy Tabernacle Church of God In Christ Brockton.  They worshipped as a congregation for the first time at the Brockton Holiday Inn.

In July of 2002 Pastor Manigault co-funded Judah Ministries, International, (JMI) and was ordained to the office of the Presiding Prelate for this God ordained ministry.  This ministry is designed to foster unity in the body of Christ and share ideas, and resources in service to God and mankind.  The JMI family consists of churches in the USA, Trinidad, Malawi, and Uganda.

In addition to and alongside Bishop Manigault’s ministry experience he also worked for over 45 years in the field of Information Technology.  He has held several management, technical, sales and marketing positions with different companies over the course of these years such as with IBM, Quadrant Software, and IntelliChief.
