Bishop Clefrin F. Thompson
Bishop Clefrin F. Thompson is the founder and Bishop of Exodus Deliverance Temple and has been since its conception in 1999. He is a chosen vessel of God who operates under the Holy Spirit in the prophetic, healing, reconciliation, preaching and teaching of God’s Word.
Bishop Thompson is a graduate of Seneca College where he obtained a Diploma in Business Management Administration. His knowledge of the Word was obtained through countless hours of dedication to reading God’s Word coupled with the completion of several courses at Bible College. He is also an ordained Minister with the International Ministerial Association (IMA). As the Bishop of Exodus Deliverance Temple, he is a man of compassion and understanding who genuinely cares for the people of God, he has the heart of a true shepherd. He has dedicated himself full-time to ministry and is never too busy to reach out and help his congregants in whatever way possible.
Bishop Thompson's prayer for the local church and desire is to see people live a life of purpose and influence, in a right relationship with God. His desire to help others establish a relationship with God is what fuels his passion and energy to work tirelessly to build God’s kingdom. Through intercessory prayer and a strong desire to share the Word of God, he is compelled to reach God’s people. His call to the ministry is not just to be a Bishop, but he has been called to heal, restore and to lead God’s people into righteousness. His down-to-earth teaching style and ability to capture the truth continues to inspire and impact all those he ministers to through his weekly sermons, conferences and public speaking.
Bishop Thompson is passionate about making a difference in the community by giving back. As Jesus met the needs of many that he encountered, Bishop Thompson endeavors to carry out the same mandate today. He has been the driving force behind the “Back On Track, Back To School Community Barbecue” event that is organized by Exodus Deliverance Temple. This event caters to promoting higher education to youth at-risk and offering adaptive alternatives to violence. He also endorses projects that are focused on feeding the homeless and providing other necessities to the under-privileged in our local and international community.
One of the driving forces behind BishopThompson’s ministry is his lovely wife of over 25 years, Lady Corinthia. His wife is actively involved in all areas of the ministry with him. They are the loving parents of two grown children. As a true family man, Bishop Thompson believes that without his family, the ministry would be incomplete and he is committed to building a legacy of purpose, value and justice into the next generation of his family, future leaders and followers of Christ.
