A bishop with the Church of God in Christ has assumed oversight of a local church after the pastor refused to fire a music minister charged with statutory rape.

Greater St. Mark COGIC in South Memphis voted to make Jurisdictional Bishop Jerry Maynard temporary CEO of the church at a Wednesday night meeting.

Music minister Dwayne "DJ" Wilson, who was dismissed Tuesday, directed the choir for two weeks after he was charged on Nov. 17 in a case involving a 16-year-old choir member.
