We can’t do this without you.

You are being invited into the community of generosity that is Greater Bethlehem Temple; into a people of abundance, anointing, and vision, who extravagantly love God, and courageously love those He loves.

We’re not asking you to build a church with us.
We’re inviting you to BE THE CHURCH with us.

a word from Kim Richardson

Assistant Pastor and Project Manager GBT

To everything there is a season,

A time for every purpose under heaven:

“Sometimes we enter Kairos moments. Kairos is the Greek word for a time when things in heaven and on earth come into alignment, and things are different. They are moments of prophetic fulfillment and opportunity. Kairos moments are when God answers prayer and begins to move.” - GBT Friend

“This is a Kairos time—

—— a time when God is calling His faithful ones into action. The world is craving deep, authentic connection like never before. Together, we can meet that need in ways that none of us could ever do alone.”

You’ve wondered how to change the world for the better.
You’ve struggled with how to leave a legacy that lasts.
You’ve ached for the lonely in your community—
and perhaps even longed for connection yourself.

This is the moment you’ve been waiting for.

This is your time, your place, your chance to say “YES!” to God’s best for East Liberty.

This is our community. These are our people—God’s people.

The sick are healed.

And the lonely find spiritual family to call their own.

CommUnity Loving Jesus

But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
- John 4:23

a thought from Dr. Lowell Thomas ...

Senior Paster of Greater Bethlehem Temple

With God...

But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
- Matthew 19:26

Thank you for your continued support and prayers!

Through the years, the ministry of Greater Bethlehem Temple (GBT) has helped thousands of people spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Founded in 1933 by my father, the late Bishop Freeman M. Thomas, GBT has been an inspiration in the city of Pittsburgh and its surrounding areas. By the grace and faithfulness of God, we will continue to serve.  With Jesus, all things are possible.  Individually it may not seem much, but together we can do amazing things!

‘May the Lord bless you and protect you.
May the Lord smile on you
and be gracious to you.
May the Lord show you his favor
and give you his peace.’
- Numbers 6:24-26
