Pastor George W. Bogle Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

BOGLE, George William, Sr. Pastor Bogle went on to his heavenly reward February 12, 2021, at 86 years of age. Beloved husband of Shirley for more than 65 years. Loving father of George Jr. (Julie), Tim (Amy), Tara, and Kirk (Ashly). Proud and adored grandfather of Brent (Agata), Blair (Morgan), Coleton, Luke, and great grandfather of Mario. Cherished brother of Sharon (William) Middleton, Joe (Joann), the late Bill (Fran), and the late Lucille (Bill) Griffin. He is also survived by his in-laws, and many nieces and nephews. Pastor Bogle moved his family to the City of Detroit in 1970 to minister to families and communities in need of healing. He hosted a nightly call-in prayer broadcast from midnight to 3 A.M. that touched millions of people over nearly six decades of ministry, and which continues in his stead to this day. He taught that every day of living is a gifted opportunity to know God more, and to walk in victory with Jesus. Among his many ministries were a church with three locations, two K-12 academies, a Christian restaurant, gym, singles residence, television and radio broadcasts, coffeehouse ministry at Detroit’s legendary Grande Ballroom, an operating farm and kids camp in western Michigan, a community carnival, and various job training ministries for the men of Detroit, including a trucking academy and auto repair shop. He was recipient of two “Spirit of Detroit Awards,” the highest honor the Detroit City Council bestows, two "Mayoral Proclamations", and was the subject of "Michigan Senate and House of Representatives Joint Resolution #306", which acknowledges "the high esteem in which he is held by the Michigan legislature." His family and flock take comfort and pride in his many accomplishments, but Rev. Bogle himself remained steadfast and faithful: to God and to God alone be the glory.
