Our Story
New Greater Bethlehem Temple Community Apostolic Church began in 2002 when Elder Lester B. Jordan and Evangelist Evelyn Jordan was called of God to began a work in the ministry in the city of Detroit Michigan. After receiving the call of God to enter the office of Pastor, Elder Jordan shared this good news with his pastor, Dr. Anthony V. Price of New Greater Bethlehem Temple Community Apostolic church of Ecorse Michigan. Elder Jordan and his wife Evangelist Jordan were both saved under the pastorate of District Elder George Price, the father of Dr. Anthony Price. God revealed to Elder Jordan to keep the name of this new ministry the same as our home church to honor the founding fathers of of church. Since this humble beginning in Detroit Michigan, God has given us a permanent church home in the city of Inkster Michigan where many souls have been added to the church. Youth ministries, Bible Study, Prayer, and Worship Service where the Spirit of the Lord has free course. Back to School Youth Rallies, Food and Cloth Drives, Assistance to the Elderly are among our services to the community. Our Pastor Dr. Lester B. Jordan and First Lady Jordan are true servants of the Lord our God, who are willing to help men, women, and children of all walks of life.
In September 2002, New Greater Bethlehem Temple Community Apostolic Church was officially formed and began meeting at an Old Salvation Army Building located at Dundee and Grand River in Detroit Michigan. There was a 125 seat sanctuary within the building where we rented space from September 2002 through September 2003. God provided the opportunity to rent a share space with Christ United Methodist church in a beautiful 250 seat church located at 27830 Avondale Inkster, Michigan 48141.
After renting and sharing the church with Christ United Methodist church from September 2003 through July 2010, the CUMC closed after 128 years serving the Inkster Community. We purchased the church at that time and continue to serve the Inkster and surrounding communities.
As our church has grown, so has our love for God and the people of people in our community. Our ministries include food distribution, youth service including after school, weekend and Summer art programs. And we encourage our members to be the hands and feet of Jesus at work, in our neighborhoods, as a part of other Inkster community organizations and through partnerships with missions organizations around the world.
