Sherman Clifton Gee Allen was born March 23, 1961, to Reverend Sherman Clifton Gee and Clarice Warren Gee in Fort Worth, Texas.

Called to the gospel ministry at the age of three, he was ordained at the age of twelve. He matriculated at Davidson College and Texas Christian University. In 1983, he chose to follow the call of God upon his life to Pastor and founded the Shiloh Church in Fort Worth, Texas. He currently serves as the Senior Pastor of Christ Cathedral in Ft. Worth, Texas. Bishop Allen has conducted revivals, crusades and conferences throughout the United States and in Mexico, Europe, South Africa, and South Korea. He has been the host of “Prophetic Summit”, the premier prophetic event in the DFW area for the past 30 years. He is the author of the books “Understanding the Flow of the Anointing,” “For Better or For Worse,” and his new 2025 release “Something To Offer.”

Gifted as a distinguished establishmentarian and cleric, Bishop Allen has been actively involved in progressive ministries throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex for more than 20 years, espousing the belief that ministry cannot be limited to the church, nor preaching to the pulpit. He is active in many organizations, including Grace International Fellowship of Churches (2nd Assistant Presiding Bishop), The Black Ecumenical Leadership Alliance of Fort Worth (Vice President), and Prophetic Ministries Covenant Alliance, Inc.—an alliance of churches and ministries for which Apostle Allen provides apostolic covering and oversight (Founder/Apostle).

Anointed with a heavy apostolic and prophetic mantle, Bishop Allen is a widely sought after conference speaker, author, and lecturer. His unique blend of revelatory exegesis and evangelistic preaching style is seasoned with a highly accurate prophetic flow and a distinctly anointed apostolic mandate for healing, apostolic order, and economic empowerment. Bishop Allen has ministered to countless thousands who have been set free by the power of God’s anointing flowing heavily through his preaching and teaching.

Bishop Allen is the husband of Mrs. Otonya Eskridge-Allen and the father of Ryan Augustus, Regan Arden and Railey Alyse Allen.
