Greater Faith Temple is a church, not just a building. God erects his people as a sanctuary by choosing to dwell among men and women. We are made the church by the presence of God, the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ. This is a brief history of a people known as Greater Faith Temple Church of the Living God.

Greater Faith Temple was founded as a monument to God where sin-ravaged souls can find their way to Christ, where the disconsolate and troubled can find hope and where the saints of God can be nurtured and grow. Cross sections of members were interviewed - long-term and short term members; the young as well as the young at heart. Some of the common themes found were that they were drawn to this ministry because of the sincere love exuded by the Pastor and the members.

They also found it to be a place where the Gospel was being preached in the context of real life contemporary issues. The WORD came alive through the skillful and anointed oratory expertise of Pastor White -Haynes. Others were drawn by the order of worship and the exuberant praise. Some came like the woman who met Jesus at the Samaritan well who was looking to fulfill an unrealized need. Others were besieged by low self-esteem and found a place where they were valued, their potential was tapped and their self-image enhanced. They found it to be a place where the power of God was available to meet every need and a place where they could freely exercise their gifts and graces to the glory of God - young and old alike.

They found a caring Pastor who was willing to sacrifice of herself, her time and her finances. As well as a family that was as loving and concerned as blood relations were. Greater Faith Temple is a holistic ministry that addresses not only the spiritual needs, but the natural needs as well. The ministry includes mentor counseling, marriage encounter sessions, pastoral counseling, a peer substance abuse program, a youth outreach ministry, a community outreach ministry, a food co-op program and other progressive ministries, which include mime ministries and liturgical dance ministries.

Our goals are to provide a multi-faceted center that reaches out to minister to all of the needs of the community. We envision a day care center, after-school study center, mentoring programs, career development and job placement center, banquet hall, food pantry, crisis intervention center and more.
