PASTOR'S VISION
We will be a spirit-filled, faith-driven church where the love of God is shown and everyone has a place and a purpose in the ministry of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Therefore, we can walk in dignity, talk in dignity and live in dignity. Remember that there is so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best of us, that none of us can talk about the rest of us.
God loves all of us.
We are moving from membership to discipleship and from complacency
to commitment.
THE SHIELD AND SWORD
Ephesians 6:16, 17
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God:
Our Mission:
To reach the lost everywhere
with the good news
of Jesus Christ by
equipping God's people
to do His work;
building up the church
and the body of Christ.

FROM THE ARCHIVES
Pentecostal Temple was started in 1965 on Murchison Road in Fayetteville, North Carolina, by the late Bishop Joseph Howard Sherman, Sr. an evangelist from New Jersey and a bishop in the North Carolina Second Ecclesiastial Jurisdiction of the Church Of God In Christ. Then called Murchison Road Pentecostal Holiness Church , the church moved six years later to a little brick building on the corner of Williams and Blount Streets.
In 1974, Elder John Charles Reid came to Fayetteville, North Carolina to pastor Pentecostal Temple. At that time the rent was too expensive for a small membership, so the church moved about a hundred yards up to 455 Williams Street, into a cinder block building, which had been condemned by the city of Fayetteville. It had been used for other things, such as a laundry facility, the last of which was a pool room.
Immediately, the pastor began to build upon the foundation laid by Bishop Sherman. First, spiritual-preaching to the lost and desperate in Fayetteville-and naturally-using his carpentry skills to turn the church from a small edifice to a building worthy of the name Pentecostal Temple.
During his days of building, many people scoffed and ridiculed him. They told him he wouldn't make it in Fayetteville, but he didn't hear them, rather he persevered with the work that God had called him to perform. After the home going of Bishop Sherman in 1996, Bishop Cornelius E. Anderson, Sr. was appointed Bishop of North Carolina Second Jurisdiction. Dr. Reid continued to serve faithfully under Bishop Anderson as Superintendent of the Southeastern District and First Administrative Assistant to the Bishop.
The Church Of God In Christ is the largest and the fastest growing Black Pentecostal religious body in the world. Pentecostal Temple is an outstanding representative of the Church Of God In Christ in this region. Pentecostal Temple is the place where everybody is somebody and Jesus is all.
After a few months of illness, on July 8, 2011, the Lord called Superintendent John Charles Reid home. Bishop Anderson appointed Superintendent Larry Bellamy as the new pastor.
