Bishop Ralph was the founder and presiding prelate of the Interdenominational Church of God (ICOG) of America. Bishop Ralph had focused on the International ministry of the ICOG not pastored a local congregation in over 20 years. At the age of 70, Bishop Ralph responded to God’s call to open the local congregation. Initially the name of the church was the Interdenominational Church of God of L.A. (or ICOGLA).
We met in Bishop Ralph’s home as a home bible study. Teaching and fellowship remain the heart of the church. ICOGLA soon grew to the point in which the home bible study had to be moved. On May 19th 2004 we incorporated as Crossing.
