We're honored you stopped by.
Whether you're searching for a church home, growing in your walk with Christ, or just visiting Detroit for a Sunday, there's room for you at Holy Temple.
We're a family rooted in Apostolic faith — believing in repentance, baptism in Jesus' name, and the gift of the Holy Ghost. Use this site to learn about our church, find a service, and grow in your faith. We look forward to meeting you soon.
Rooted in the Apostles' doctrine.
All have sinned and come short of the glory of God — and God has made a way. We hold to the plan of salvation preached on the Day of Pentecost.
Repentance
Commanded of God for all, and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
Acts 2:38Baptism in Jesus' Name
For the remission — the removing — of our sins.
Acts 2:38The Holy Ghost
The promised gift God pours out on all who obey.
Acts 2:38–39Holy Living
Following Christ's example and overcoming the world by faith.
2 Cor 7:1 · 1 Pet 2Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.Acts 2:38 Read our statement of faith
A vision that yet continues.
From a distressed building on Puritan to a spacious home on Esper — four decades of watching God bless everything His people put their hands to.
Bishop G.W. Martin, at 87 years young, receives a vision. Six months later the doors open at 13142 Puritan.
A larger building across the street; the first becomes the George & Lillie B. Martin Community Center.
Evangelist Pamela McClendon is installed as Pastor, taking the seat once held by her grandfather.
"Corner to corner" — Holy Temple moves into its new edifice at 8590 Esper.
Pastor Pamela McClendon
Pastor since 2004 · Ordained Elder, A.A.C.
Filled with the Holy Ghost at 17 and anointed as a songstress, Pastor McClendon answered the call to preach in 1999. Since her installation, Holy Temple's membership has tripled.
A successful entrepreneur in finance, a recording artist, a devoted wife and a loving mother of three — Pastor McClendon leads with a vision that keeps Holy Temple reaching souls across Detroit.
