A prophecy fulfilled: God is going to get a church out of a church. This God-given prophecy made by Missionary Willie B. Hayes to the saints at 22nd Street Church of God In Christ during a revival, moved eight saints who wanted more from God, to meet one Wednesday night in the home of Elder Hamilton to discuss and plan the start of a new church. Elder Hamilton, lovingly called Brother Joe, the only minister of the group, was asked to be their Pastor because they knew that the Lord had chosen him. They desired a pastor who would preach the Word of God and not sugar-coat it. This quorum, who just had love one for another, agreed that they would do exactly what the Bible taught, enjoy Jesus, pray without ceasing, follow leadership, dress in modest apparel, and live what they were taught. The church was set up as an independent enterprise affiliated with the Church of God In Christ. They described themselves as plain people who wanted to be free to praise the Lord. Thus, Freedom Temple Church of God In Christ was formed on August 26, 1964.
