History
New Harvest Temple was founded on February 14, 1972 as St. Matthew Holiness Church of the Apostolic Faith Churches of Giving Grace, Inc., under the leadership of the late Bishop Rufus Easter. This ministry grew from prayer meetings that were being held at various homes and businesses during the late 1960’s to a place to finally call home, at 4814 Baltimore Ave.
