The Temple of Praise

A wonderful experience at a Women's prayer retreat. I loved our the Senior ladies welcomed everyone. They looked so pretty.

Temple of Praise is the best Church I've attended Bishop Staples is a great Bishop I understand the word when he preaches. Never attended a Church where the Bishop or Pastor spoke about their trials and tribulations of what they have been through and were brought of so I think you Bishop for sharing your story because no one is perfect and that even includes our Bishop’s or our Pastor’s. You just never know what someone has been through so treat everyone with Respect and look out for our Children.

This place is a den of iniquity. The "leadership" is focused on everything but Christ. I was a member for eight years and I watched this church change from a Bible believing, teaching, and living church, to an apostate assembly and den of iniquity. I witnessed a remarkable change when Mr. Glen Staples (their bishop) got linked up with TD Jakes by paying a huge sum of money, which Mr. Staples admitted to at a Wednesday night Bible study...( I can elaborate more on this piece, but I will leave it there).

What's worse is that this is, in fact, a Word of Faith church. If you don't know what that is, please research it. I will suffice to say that it IS a heresy, filled with new age mystical beliefs and practices that are whitewashed in "christanese" overtons... Also, this church is an inter-faith, i.e. ecumenical, organization...

The fact that Mr. Staples has positioned his children in key places to take over the "cash cow" when he retires, should tell those with discernment something... WALTER LAMAR STAPLES IS NOT QUALIFIED (by biblical standards) TO PASTOR OF A CHURCH.

Disclaimer-- I don't suffer from "church hurt" nor am I "crazy" or jilted. The Lord removed me from this place after opening my eyes to the deception and DEMONIC activities that goes on behind the scenes... Mr. Staples will have to answer for a lot when he stands before God because he refuses to repent-- TRULY REPENT. There is sooooo much (facts) I can say, but I've made my point...

Enough has been said...

Bishop Staples is a powerful preacher and teacher. He is anointed. He sees in the spirit and he prophesies. He doesn't say that he is going to prophesy, prophesy just comes forth. Although one time many years ago, he said that the Lord was ministering to him about someone who was going to write books, plays and movies at Tyler Perry level. I wish that I had space to tell it. Just know that God was speaking through his mouth to me. To God be the Glory! Greatness is coming to pass. It shall happen! I am so grateful for the Temple of Praise!! Many lives have been turned around through the ministry of Bishop Staples.

Attended an Ordination, one of the warmest days of the year and the Church had an Air conditioning outage. They had rented portable AC units that as the attendance swelled so did the temperature during the four hour Elevation. It has a great Clergy and friendly Staff. The attendees of this event were mainly other Clergy from various churches. I've seen the Church regular Sunday Services on the web and they have energetic and dynamic Services. Bishop Staples has a great Service consistently bringing God's word each week.

This is a wonderful praising church family. Im very proud to be a member. It changed my life and my family for the better. Blessings on top of blessings, encouragement and knowledge. Bishop and Pastor Staples are very anointed men of God. They lead, teach, preach the Word of God in truth, honesty and clear understanding. They are making a huge positive impact on the community and world ! May God continue to use his servants. Watch over, protect, strengthen and guide and heal everyone. Nothing but the utmost respect and love for this ministry. Thank you Lord

From the moment I walked in to the Temple I knew I was home. May God continue to bless each and everyone that's affiliated and connected to Bishop G. Staples in Jesus mighty name. Stay blessed family and keep me in your prayers.

I wanted to go a couple times to get a feel of the church for myself. I really enjoy it and after being a few times, I'm going to continue going. I grew up Pentecostal so I know boisterous exuberant, exciting churches but I've never been to a church that does praise break or a church that has security guards around the pastor. I understand why now because this church literally, I mean literally excepts everybody. Whether you're homeless or struggling currently with addiction, they welcome you with open arms but sometimes someone who maybe has a mental illness or is high tries to come up on the stage so those security guards end the disruption quickly. The noon service on Sundays is my favorite, I feel like it's definitely more for the Youth and I think that's a great thing. Bringing them in and there is a man with bongos so there's definitely a go-go band feel and the kids there are really excited about it. I love that the pastor speaks in layman's terms, you really can understand what he saying. I've been to churches where I don't understand the word that is being spoke because it's too hard to understand but Bishop really breaks it down for you. I am really enjoying this church!
