Our History

The Gospel Temple Legacy – It has been the spiritual spawning ground for numerous Bishops, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors & Teachers since its inception in 1949, up until this present day. Founded by “The World’s Wonder Preacher”, the late Bishop Benjamin H. Broadie (1949-1965), we have been blessed with great leaders: the late Elder Ceacer Gooding (1965-1969), the late Bishop Samuel Canion (1969-1988), the late Dr. Minnie Canion (1988-1996) and since 1996 has been led by Bishop Rodney S. Canion, who was the visionary & builder of The New Gospel Temple Church facility in The Bronx, NY (since 2008). God has always endowed this House of Worship with various gifts & talents: singers, musicians, praise dancers, worship leaders, poets & authors.
