Church of God Unchanged Ministries (COGUM) is a 501C3, Non Profit Corporation that was founded on October 14, 2011 by Vincent James. COGUM was originally intended to provide spiritual awareness, education, and training, while also improving the overall quality of life for its constituents. However, Mr. James soon realized that the organization needed to broaden its mission by positively impacting
the community. COGUM is proud to focus on economic and community development and stabilization in North Carolina and South Carolina. Currently we are aiding the housing needs and personal needs of community members in Char-Meck, NC, and Rock Hill, SC communities. Our current community development project, Woodland Park, is made-up of 67 single family residential units, near the heart of downtown Rock Hill, SC. Throughout the last 24 months, we have re-invested proceeds to rehabilitate 62 homes. Since then, 62 of the 67 units have been rented, and deposits have been received on the remaining 3, and 2 will be rebuilt. COGUM is extending its growth by developing 200 units that will consist of single family, multi family, and assistant living in Rock Hill, SC off of 901. In addition joint venturing with Sycamore in Charlotte, NC with the developing of 400 units with 200 designed for veterans called Sycamore at Gateway. The end-goal of COGUM community development and stabilization projects is to improve the communities, enhance individual lives, provide jobs, and encourage accessible housing solutions to local community members.
