The express purpose of the Greater Pentecostal Temple is to glorify God, who has given us the highest elevation of Himself in the person of Jesus Christ.  In glorifying God, we enter into public worship services, seeking to give adequate expression to our profound and dedicated commitment to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who loved us and gave himself for our sins.

In our worship, we find meaningful awareness of His presence with us, and we respond to this awareness with adoration, praise and thanksgiving.  Our worship includes the preaching and teaching of the gospel concerning the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, so as to enlighten the conscience to the holiness of God, to feed the soul with the truth of God, and to open the heart to the matchless grace of God.

In our worship, service to Christ, we call sinners to repentance, encourage the down trodden, strengthen believers, visit the sick and incarcerated, uplift and maintain the highest standards of morality, and urge all believers to seek a spirit-filled life.  It is essential that we nourish and cultivate the Christian lives of our parishioners, and that we attempt to meet both spiritual and natural need of those in our community.

The ministries and auxiliaries of the Greater Pentecostal Temple were initiated to effectuate this purpose.
