Where families grow closer to christ
Prayer Temple Ministries
In 1982, God blessed Elder Joenathan Hunter with a vision of a church where the people of God could be free to worship Him in spirit and in truth. A glorious event took place in Newark, Delaware at the George Wilson Community Center when Prayer Temple Church of God in Christ, under the leadership of the late Jurisdictional Prelate of Delaware, Bishop L.T. Blackshear, opened its doors for the first time on December 18, 1983.
After much prayer, God gave Elder Hunter the name for the church, and as is often the case, God sent confirmation of His choice through the First Lady when He directed her to Matthew 21:13 "my house shall be called the house of prayer for all people” The mission of the church is to minister to the needs of all people regardless of race, creed, color, or religion. In doing so, the community has recognized the works of our pastor and the church. Prayer Temple has become a valued member of the Newark community.
...my house shall be called the house of prayer for all people.
our history &
founder
For over fifteen years, Pastor Joseph Williams and Evangelist Paulette Williams have faithfully served the Prayer Temple Ministries church under the leadership of the late Bishop Joenathan Hunter Sr. After the passing of Bishop Hunter Sr. in March of 2020, Pastor Joseph Williams stepped into the role as Pastor of Prayer Temple Ministries in October of 2020. He and his wife have been leading the church ever since.
Pastor and Evangelist Williams believes they were called to full time ministry when they accepted Christ in their hearts. Full time ministry is not just a call to the pulpit, it is a calling, not only in word, but in words and deeds.
