Join us this Sunday, March 15th, as we celebrate 91 years of ministry, faithfulness and community at Bright Temple AME Church!

We are excited to celebrate under the leadership of our Pastor, Rev. Kate Ofikuru and to welcome our Presiding Elder, Rev. Dr. Eric Billups as our Guest Preacher. Let’s gather in worship, celebration and gratitude for what God has done, what God is doing and what God is going to do!

91 Years of Faith. 91 Years of Community. 91 Years of God’s Faithfulness -and we’re just getting started.
