Bishop Herman Cubit

Herman Cubit, Sr. was born December 15, 1925, in Kansas City, Missouri to James and Lillie Cubit. He was born the second oldest of four children. He was preceded in death by both his parents, older brother, James Cubit; younger brother, Kennie Denmon; granddaughter, Alesia Bledsoe; and grandson, Herman Cubit III. Herman joined the armed services at the age of 17 and became a Petty Officer 3rd Class. After his four years of service, he returned home to Kansas City. In 1950 Herman married Betty Jean Osborn and from this union came four children, Beverly Diane, Herman Jr., Sherman (twins) and Phillip. After many years of his mother faithfully praying for him, at the age of 29 in 1954, Herman started his personal walk with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. One year later, he was called to the ministry and became a Pastor. His humble beginning started at a small “store front” church and over the years the ministry grew, and he moved the congregation to 1815 Paseo in 1969, Holy Ghost New Testament Church. Over his many years of ministry, he mentored and fathered ministers and pastors. Numerous souls were saved and delivered under his leadership. After many years of faithful service to the Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith, Elder Herman Cubit was ordained as a Bishop in the Missouri Diocese. Bishop Herman Cubit, Sr., with his wife Betty alongside him, served for 59 years at Holy Ghost New Testament Church until her passing in July of 2003. Bishop continued to serve his congregation as pastor where he was known as “Faithful Servant” and in November of 2013, he married Carla Ginn where they served an additional 10 years until his departure of this life at the age of 98 on Tuesday April 23, 2024, in their home.
