Neil Ellis (bishop)
Neil C. Ellis is a Bahamian Baptist pastor who founded the Global United Fellowship and served as its first presiding bishop. He started Mount Tabor Union Baptist Church in 1985 and became a bishop in the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship in 1995.
In 2013, after Bishop Paul S. Morton announced retirement, Ellis ran for the FGBCF leadership. By August 2013, he resigned from FGBCF to avoid division, and his church disaffiliated from FGBCF along with all Bahamian churches in the denomination. After a two-day meeting, Ellis founded the Global United Fellowship.
In 2015, Ellis served as the chief consecrator of Marvin Sapp, who was made metropolitan bishop in 2016. In October 2023, Ellis resigned as presiding bishop of the Global United Fellowship, and Bishop Joel Peebles succeeded him.
