Our story
In 1967 while still in service for his country, Bishop John L Hilton was called to an even greater service for his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as pastor of Fuller's Temple. Pastor Hilton, after looking back and seeing where the church had started, cultivated and harvested an enthusiasm that is unsurpassed by many. As the years progressed, God gave Pastor Hilton a vision of "Fuller's Temple" on the very corner where it now stands. How impossible this must have seemed, as there were already institutions of business existing next door and on the corner. But, because God said so, and because nothing is impossible for God, the saints continued in prayer and shut-in services were conducted as they laid their petitions before the Almighty.
This enthusiasm perpetuated the hearts of his faithful followers and through much prayer, fasting and shut-in services, God began to give the increase.
"...without a vision, the people perish"
Longing for, and needing a larger building in which to worship, they began seeking real estate property elsewhere. As a result of Bishop Hilton's vision, building fund rallies, pledges, and divine intervention Faith Temple was able to move into its existing location in 2004.
