Bishop Samuel Wright, Sr.

In August 1994, he was elevated to the office of Bishop by the Board of Bishops of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc., and served faithfully as Diocesan of the 44th Episcopal District, Council of Zimbabwe, Africa until his health declined. He is the father Suffragan Bishop Samuel Wright Jr

Born January 8, 1935, to Andrew and Lucy Godbolt Wright, Bishop Wright is a native of Latta, South Carolina.  He attended Dillon County Training School and Allen University before enlisting in the United States Army in 1953. 

During his military career, he held a variety of positions: Squad Leader and Platoon Sergeant during the Korean War, 82nd Airborne Paratrooper, Radar Operator, Radiology Technician and Medic.  Upon graduation from the School of Nursing at Fitzsimons General Hospital in Denver, Colorado, he held such positions as Staff Nurse, Emergency Room Director, Chief Ward Master, and Chief of the Department of Clinics.  He was honorably retired at Fort Eustis, Virginia in 1974, having enjoyed a diverse and successful military career.

Called of God, with an “ear to hear” and a servant’s heart, Bishop Wright has zealously pursued the “higher calling in Christ Jesus” for over 40 years.  He has fought to advance the cause of Christ as a preacher, teacher, musician, and pastor, as well as through evangelism.  Bishop Wright came to Zion Apostolic with a considerable pastoral background-licensed and ordained by the Virginia State Council of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc.

He has pastored all over the world to include Ulm, Germany, Cam Rahn Bay, Vietnam, and Sagami-Ono Tokyo, Japan, where he founded and pastored the Camp Zama Pentecostal Serviceman’s Center.  He has also assisted countless numbers of displaced refugees and wounded servicemen, ministering to the needs of the whole man while he himself was recuperating. 

Under his direction, Zion Apostolic Church was renamed Zion Apostolic Christian Memorial Church and relocated from a run down, small building to its present location on South Young’s Road.  The new church, which seats over 1,500 people, is now called, Zion Apostolic Christian Memorial Temple.  In 1975, he founded and remained the Administrative Director of the Zion Apostolic Day Care Center.  Bishop Wright is responsible for and instrumental in the establishment of numerous grants and endowments that have provided funding for the redevelopment of the Gillfield area of Petersburg, the construction of a senior citizens’ home, training for the economically disadvantaged and unwed mothers, as well as college tuition assistance.  He has assisted over one hundred families with purchasing their first homes and has been a blessing to countless pastors by directing, facilitating and advising during the construction of their new churches.

Bishop Wright has always been a devoted Bible student completing courses in  New Testament Greek and completed the Ministerial Ordination courses at Aenon Bible College.  He holds an Associate Degree in Psychology from St. Leo College and received his Doctorate of Divinity from the American Ministerial College of New York.  He served as President of the Brotherhood Department and Vice Chairman of the Virginia State Council District #28, PAW. 

He served in the International Pentecostal Assemblies Of the World, Inc. as President of the International Brotherhood Department, member of Foreign Missions board, and has served on the Board of Bishops as Lay Director for the Southeast Region.

In March 1992, Bishop Wright was assigned by the Board of Bishops to organize and preside over the Council of Zimbabwe, Africa. 

Under Bishop Wright’s leadership, the first PAW church building in Harare, Zimbabwe was completed, along with many other Missions in South Africa
