The first organizational meeting for Faith Temple Church was held on January 7, 1957, with the official opening service occuring later the same year on April 24 in a temporary location at Foster School (2010 Dewey Avenue). The church relocated permanently to its current location at 1932 Dewey Street in 1967. The church was founded by Bishop Moody, who has led the church since its inception in 1957. The church has a variety of offerings beyond traditional Sunday worship services, including Christian education, youth programs, music programs, a gospel choir, prison ministry, sick and shut-in ministry and community evangelism.
