Alright Now!

Welcome to Grace Temple! My name is Kevin J. Walker. I am your praise leader for this post. Hopefully, you came with the mind set of expectancy. I know I did. I am always looking for God to do the miraculous. I'm looking for God to do a new thing in the hearts and lives of all who frequent Grace Temple Apostolic Church.

Worship at Grace Temple is an experience. Often lead by Minister Rachel Donaldson or Minister Carolyn Davis (pictured behind me), you find that each time you sing a song or hear a testimony, you are closer to the hand of God. Our goal as worship leaders is to lead you into the throne room of heaven. We help you send up the praise so God can pour down his love, his power and his blessings on you. We come each Sunday to set the atmosphere for worship. We try to wipe out all signs of the dismal week you might have had, or the rough time you might have encountered on your way to church. We try to help you concentrate on the goodness of our God. Think about what he's done for you. Think about all the ways he's made for you. Think about all the doors he's opened for you. How dare we not give God the praise he is due?!?

If you have air in lungs, then you should have a song on your lips. If you have breath in your body, then you should have a praise in your heart. It's our job to help you remember why we came to church - to lift up the name of Jesus!

Bishop and First lady



Captured here are two of the most anointed, friendly, dedicated, faithful, giving, and supportive first couples you're ever going to meet. Not to mention, they are 100% serious about ministry.

They would love to have you visit and/or become a member. Trust, your presence (if you come) will not go unnoticed. Stay tuned for more of their sermons, words of encouragement, and just general leadership inspiration!

Getting to know... "GRACE"

Where to start?

BROTHERHOOD
Min. Lewis Gray and Deacon Davis head this department. They have some weekend breakfasts. They also intend to have a revival in the latter parts of the calendar year. I'll keep you posted. As for their work, they are two dedicated gentlemen. The make sure the "rest" of the church gets the attention it needs. Deacon Davis is currently spear-heading the renewal of our fellowship hall as well as tending to the general maintenance of the building.

MISSIONARY BOARD
Headed by First lady Wright, this department knows a lot about white. They have their Woman's Day services, give out gifts, and just love on everybody they can get a hold of. Thus far this year they have already hosted a service with featured Evang. Turner as the keynote speaker (from Christ Temple Anderson). It was an awesome service and tons of people turned out just to watch God move... and move God did. They gave out these great gift bags with candies and notepads and I was just like "Wow, I'm not a woman by any means, but can I have a bag PLEASE?" (They said yes).

MUSIC DEPARTMENT
One of the most dynamic music departments in the state resides at Grace Temple. Under the well-equipped leadership of Kevin J. Walker, the Music Department continues to learn and deliver powerful music week after week. Though there are few compositions that they'll shy away from, they are most known for their stirring hand-clapping, foot-stomping pieces that resemble church in the "ol school" way. But don't sleep on Grace; they can go classical, up-beat, or even Contemporary Christian if properly prepped. F.Y.I. Kevin J. Walker is also the founder of our beloved Family and Friends day. Known as the highest attendance day for Grace each year, this event features an anointed speaker and a host of guest from local and out of state places. If you missed this service in 2006 then you really missed a blessing (seriously). Oh... before I forget. Kevin works the sound room to so he can get you any sermons, concerts, or events you're interested in from Grace!

USHER BOARD
Talk about a department that is really doing big things. The usher board has pushed beyond the standard expectations. They not only greet and seat, but the head of the department makes sure we have a monthly newsletter, occasional usher board services, and keep the sanctuary in "tip top" shape! They just had their first service of the year and it had miming, singing, stepping, and good-solid preaching. That's taking ushering to a whole new level! Way to go Sis. Freda Gray.

OUTREACH
Three years in the making, the outreach leader has pushed and pushed for souls! I can honestly say that the G-TAC family has finally grown accustomed to taking it to the streets. We've grown tremendously through these services as far as our mindset of ministry goes. We're no longer afraid or uncomfortable setting up outside and praising God like we've lost our minds. In the three years Min. Rachel Donaldson has gotten all the necessary equipment (guess speakers, choirs, chairs and sound equipment) to ensure that each outing is better than the last. Watch out for summer 2006! It's going to be HOT (no pun intended).

YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS
Working on an album... our debut release. Want more? Go to:

Enough said. The next time we'll do something worth noting will probably be in August with the Back2School Revival. Stay tuned for selected preachers. Oh, stay tuned for the development of Bro. Melvin. He'll be doing more and more as the year progresses.

GRACE TEMPLE APOSTOLIC CHURCH

Grace Temple Apostolic Church is a growing church right in the heart of the country. The pastor is Dr. Jerry D. Wright. The Assistant Pastor and first lady is Evangelist Josephine Wright. Our church is officially a member of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc. Dr. Jerry Wright is currently the president of the Dominican Republic Council for this organization and operates as the Suffragan Bishop.

If you are interested in a mighty move of God then you are officially in contact with the right group! We love praising God, encouraging souls through the preached word, singing to the top of our range, and witnessing. Our goal is to be as productive and as effective as spiritually possible.

We believe in following the law of Sowing and Reaping. Thus, we'll reap what we sow. So our current goal for 2006 is to sow as much Christian Love as possible. Compelled by an article that simply states "God blesses in direct proportion to the Gospel seed sown" by a church. We intend to sow in as many fields as we can find through as many means as we can ponder.

We're stepping up our level of expectation, trusting that Organized Evangelism will be the difference in our 15th year of service to the city of Anderson, the state of Indiana, the Dominican Republic, and the World!
