Ephesians 6:18
Remembering our Founder, The Late Dr. Clifford C. Adams.
Founding Father
While Reverend Clifford C. Adams was serving as Assistant Pastor at the Little Zion Church of God In Christ in Freeport, NY, under the tutelage of Bishop O.M. Kelly, God showed him a vision that he would be Pastoring and his ministry would be in the Jamaica Queens, NY area. He then prayerfully sought God for direction and guidance. One day a man came up to him and asked “Do you want to rent this place?” The building was a small storefront between 133rd and 134th Streets on Rockaway Blvd...and he did. God gave him the Name of the Church, therefore; the HEALING TEMPLE CHURCH was born in September 1961.
Founder's Testimony :
After being placed in the Annex of Meadowbrook Hospital, (approximately 1957) Doctors were astounded, because they had already called the family to let them know that there was nothing else they could do for Mr. Adams and He was transitioning. But when His wife arrived, Clifford Adams was standing in the window waving to his children, and waiting for her to bring his clothes so he could go home. God had Healed him and raised him up for Ministry, (4-years later) thus the name of the church was called "Healing Temple".
