Born in Atlanta, GA, Doctor C.E. Longino is one of Edward Sr. and Alicia Longino's three children.
After receiving his call to ministry in October of 1991, Apostle Longino received his degree in Private Security Investigation and then moved on to play semi-pro football for the Atlanta Cannibals. With a background in entertainment, he also managed numerous gospel groups and artists.
Apostle Longino's background in ministry is vast, and his passion for teaching the application of the Word of God has been relentless. Primarily ordained Elder in 2001 at Deliverance of Our Faith Holiness Church, under the covering of Overseer Betty Jeffery, he has established numerous ministries and helped other pastors when needed. Apostle Longino later founded Christ's Love United Believers (now Greater Restoration Ministries) in 2010 and decided to join the United Churches Of God In Christ (UCOGIC) that same year.
In October of 2011, he found LaTonya A. Fletcher, whom he would later marry on December 8, 2012. On September 29, 2013, God called the Longinos to found United Believers Fellowship International (UBFI). The Longinos answered that call, and Apostle became Presiding Prelate/Bishop over the fellowship.
Most recently, Apostle Longino officially became Doctor Apostle Longino in June of 2022 after receiving his doctorate from Midwest College of Theology.
Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Pastor (Prophetess) Latonya Longino is one of the late William M. Fletcher Sr. and Anna J. Fletcher's three children.
Accepting Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior at the age of 14, Pastor Longino pursued a degree in Early Childhood Education at Atlanta Metropolitan College. Though she served in different capacities in the church, it wasn't until she met her husband (Dr. Apostle C.E. Longino) that she became fully committed to the work of ministry.
Ordained as Prophetess on June 22, 2016, and later as Pastor of Greater Restoration Ministries on March 6, 2022, she strives to exemplify the Great Commission of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28: 18-20).
Believing that God gets the glory in her life as she continues to be a soldier in the army of the Lord, she fights to bring healing to the Body of Christ.
Pastor (Prophetess) Longino currently serves in several capacities of ministry, including but not limited to: Sunday School for elementary children, and President of both Ladies of Victory (Women's Ministry) and Outreach.
