Massey, a former educator and school principal, is retired from the

Printing Industry Association of Georgia, where he served as president.

Active in church leadership roles for many years, Massey was ordained

to the diaconate in 1997 and to the priesthood in 1999. He holds a bachelor's

degree from Carson-Newman College, a master's degree from Georgia

State University, and has received additional training at the University

of Tennessee and St. Michael's seminary.

In 1996, Massey and his wife, Judy, became founding members of Christ

the King, formerly in Fayette County and now located in Sharpsburg. Fr.

Massey currently serves as curate, or associate pastor, for that congregation.

Judy Massey, who holds a doctor of ministry from Regent University and

is a commissioned minister in the ICCEC, has been in Christian leadership

for a number of years and has spoken at conferences both in the United

States and overseas.

The Masseys reside in Peachtree City and have two adult children and

three grandchildren.

The ICCEC was founded in 1992 with three churches and is considered

denominations.

However, the ICCEC is not a 'break-off' of any other denomination,

but was begun by independent charismatic and Pentecostal ministers who,

while embracing their charismatic experience, were seeking a stronger

connection with the historic church. Now present on all but two continents,

the ICCEC numbers more than 1,000 churches with hundreds of thousands

of members, and is regarded as one of the fastest growing Christian bodies.
