FRANK ANTHONE WHITE is a third generation Church of God in Christ servant born the eldest of five to the late Bishop Frank Otha White and Dr. Juliet L. White.

Once his early childhood gifting was discovered, it revealed a promising future alongside his father in the service of the Lord and His people. With his parents nurturing these gifts, his activity in his home church, Little Zion, progressively spanned a record of service from Sunday School Instructor, Minister of Music to ultimately Pastor on the local level and – not unlike the tenure of his father, nationally – from the Sunshine Band to the Bishopric.

Uninterrupted, the depth and faithfulness of his lifetime commitment to the Church of God in Christ for more than 45 years is suitably complimented by an extensive transcript of scholarship from Five Towns College of Music; C. W. Post College at Long Island University and The MKWW Religious Training Institute. Closely concurrent with the completion of his undergraduate and graduate education, his acclaim as a music producer and career as a Wall Street Executive, the divine call to the Gospel ministry was heard, acknowledged and answered.

As Pastor of the landmark $4.5 million Zion Cathedral and Vice Chairman of the Cedarmore Foundation, Pastor White co-spearheaded Zion’s flourishing congregational growth along with the facilitation of more than 25 fully operational ministries for young aspiring entrepreneurs, families and the greater community. Moreover, Pastor White's uniquely balanced record of service has significantly contributed to the relationship between the Gospel music industry and the Gospel music experience, most notably as Founder & President, MusicQuest Records. MusicQuest Records has been hailed as the signature label of the critically acclaimed FAW Celebration Choir featured on The Tonight Show with David Letterman, The Essence Awards and The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (Grammy) Awards and VH1 Divas Live– the proceeds of which have helped save music programs in public schools across the country.

On the global stage, Bishop White’s cosmopolitan portfolio includes recognition within The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Board of Preachers at Morehouse College; the faculty of MKWW Religious Training Institute; guest lectureships at Cornell University and Queens College. Ecumenically, Bishop White’s demand has welcomed his proclamation of the Gospel at Madison Square Garden, The 375th Convocation of the First Presbyterian Church, Sacred Heart's Roman Catholic Church of Jesus and Mary and St. John's Episcopal Church.

Bishop White remains influential in this Executive Tenure as Founder & CEO of FAW Enterprises, Founder & CEO, FAW Ministries, Inc., President & CEO, Preachers’ Kids Fellowship, Inc., President & CEO, FAW Life Insurance Company of Greater New York and CEO of the Zion Community Development Corporation.
