AI Summary

Led by Bishop Glen A. Staples and Co‑Pastor Dr. Sharon Harrington Staples, The Temple of Praise traces its roots to 1916 and now serves a large congregation in a 2,500‑seat sanctuary opened on Easter 2004. Worship is offered Sundays at 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM (about two hours, Bible message led by the Bishop) with Holy Communion on the first Sunday, and the church also streams all services via its app and online campus with a sermon library for on‑demand viewing. Midweek engagement includes a robust Wednesday Night Bible Study (WNBS) at 7:30 PM that runs year‑long with downloadable study guides and YouTube archives, alongside active intercessory ministries (prayer line, prayer wall, and confidential requests). The church is deeply involved in community outreach and development — from food distributions, free Saturday breakfasts, and mental‑health and caregiving support groups to an 18‑month New Day women’s transitional home and the Way of the Word CDC — and makes participation easy through social media, a newsletter, and multiple online giving options.
