their property & edifice at 1225 Collings Avenue, West Collingswood, NJ 08107.
Our foundation has always been prayer, fasting, the full gospel, operation of miracles, signs, wonders, mighty deeds, healing & deliverance. New Jerusalem Temple Is known for radical praise, prolific worship, and a superlative music ministry. The harvest of souls is at the forefront of ministry. From the genesis of ministry, street/outreach/evangelizing has been most rewarding. “It is wonderful to see all ages coming together to take the love of Christ to the streets to evangelize in our area.”
Ministries have been formulated to minister to the Whole Man/Woman in a Holistic Way, through our ministries for Men, Women, Youth, Married, Singles, etc. In 2010 the HOPE (Helping Other People Escape) Ministry was launched, which provide weekly hot meals, groceries from the food pantry, to include personal hygiene items, and clothing; prepares holiday dinners and has provided temporary shelter/weather resistant units for at risk & homeless families.
