Holy Temple : Church History
In the beginning, the Lord gave Reverend James H. Clemmons a vision and
the Lord blessed the congregation with a building behind a hardware
store located on Lebanon Road. Only a few members were present for
first service held the fourth Sunday in July 1987. Pastor James H.
Clemmons, overseer and founder of Holy Temple Nondenominational Church
preached and Sister Nadine Clemmons played for the choir. The fourth
Sunday in August 1987 was the church dedication. This day dedicated
before the Lord thanking him for bringing the church together.
The vision continued as Holy Temple moved to another home in 1989
located at our present location. Through much prayer, meditation, and
hard work Holy Temple became just the little church on the hill located
by the side of the road encouraged through inspiration and foresight of
Pastor James H. Clemmons. The Lord added years to the church building
and members to the congregation. The Lord showed favor and the
congregation witnessed remodeling, which included a Pastor’s
Study, additional restrooms, and a baptism pool. After many years of
service and dedication to his congregation the Lord saw fit to take
Pastor James H. Clemmons home July 2006 and First Lady Dorris Clemmons
was called home October of the same year.
The year is October 2006; Holy Temple Nondenominational Church witness
further remodeling and entered a new sanctuary, which included a new
fellowship hall.
Under the leadership of Pastor, Damond E. Bragg installed, January 28
2007; the Lord is still showing favor and Holy Temple is still the
church on the hill, located by the side of the road.
