My response is yes.
Although I have not found no official word from the COGIC I base my answer on other factors that is known to the COGIC.
The Pastor is the Chief Executive officer of the local church. The final decision on all matters of the church end with the Pastor.
The Pastor is the visionary of the church and the business of the church is directly associated with that vision and thus the Pastor needs to be included on all business of the church.
The Pastor is the chairperson and a voting member of the trustee board.
The trustee board member is the pastor's advisor and prayer partner, a loyal supporter of the pastor, assisting in fulfilling the vision and goals God has given the Pastor for the church.
The question makes me wonder if the board is wanting to gain an advantage and control over the pastor.
It can also to be said that the pastor might have to much control.
The truth is the pastor has that control and should lead with humility and direction from God.
Every pastor needs the support of the members and every part of the ministry working in harmony.
I pray this response helps you with your most sincere question.
God Bless

In the Church Of God In Christ (COGIC), the pastor is not typically a member of the Trustee Board. The Trustee Board is usually made up of appointed members responsible for managing the financial and property affairs of the church, while the pastor's role is primarily in spiritual leadership and pastoral care of the congregation.

Is the local churches of COGIC required to elect the trustee board by the majority of the members voting or is the trustee board appointed by the pastor?
In most instances, the trustee board in local COGIC churches is typically elected by the church members. This process usually involves a voting procedure where members choose trustees to serve on the board. However, the specific governance structure can vary between churches, and some may have traditions or bylaws in place that could involve the pastor in the selection process. It is essential to consult with the church's governing documents or leadership for clarification on trustee board appointment procedures.
In COGIC what does a trustee board do?
Usually, they are assistants to the ministry itself, whether its conducting the church's official business, maintenance and upkeep. Just as any other denominational trustee is, the only difference in COGIC is the doctrine and ordinances.

Will the Church Of God In Christ release a pastor from a church when he is not able to serve the church fully or does cogic wait for death?
If the Pastor is unable to fully serve the church, he will still have the position of Pastor until his call to Glory, an Assistant Pastor or a designated person of ministry will conduct the services and tend to the needs of God's people.
What do you become first when you become a pastor in the church of God in Christ?
I believe you are asking the ranks that someone can go, because everyone in the COGIC is not a pastor. Men can be Deacons, Ministers, Elders (Pastors) and then Bishops. Women can be Missionaries, Mothers and Evangelist. It depends on your anointing and God utterance to your pastoral head.
