Glorious Temple Apostolic

Psalm 127:1- Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it; except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. In the year of 1991, we were without a church home. We didn’t know what to do but praise God for Psalm 37:23 says, “That the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord; and He delighteth in his way.” We praise God for this good man, Bishop Raymond McConnell, Sr. he obeyed the voice of the Lord and we praise God for ordering our Pastor’s steps.

In the year of 1991 our Pastor was led by the Lord to build a church. There were many obstacles but the Lord was on our side. When we look back over the years: we are reminded of Nehemiah 4:6, which quote, “so built us the wall: for the people had a mind to work.” The saints worked night and day to build the church. After hours of hard work it paid off because on May 1991, the temple was established. Oh, how proud, the pastor and the saints were to see the beautiful church, at this time the church was named Christ Temple. In the year of 1991, we were under the leadership of Bishop James E. Finley. Later, we went under the leadership of Apostle Freddie Ford. Thank God for such inspired leaders. Our pastor obeyed the Lord’s voice and acknowledged the God-given name of Glorious temple. Since, we have been witnesses of God’s movement, souls have been added and the Lord really blessed this church. Today, we stand proud of our leader and our church. We realize that if it wasn't for such a wonderful leader, our church would not be what it is today. We stand on the church’s motto: “Moving by Faith” truly we are on the move, and we are moving by faith.
