About Us

Faith. Family. Community.

Hendrix Temple Church of God in Christ is a small but powerful church dedicated to making a big impact. We believe that even a small congregation can create meaningful change when faith, family, and community are at the center of everything we do.

Our Vision: To be a place where people of all ages can grow spiritually, connect deeply, and serve actively, building a church that transforms lives and uplifts communities.

This church was founded in 1953 by Bishop and Lady  M.H. and Gladys Hendrix. Bishop was a traveling, Holy Ghost preacher. Known as a dynamic preacher full of power and wisdom. He laid the foundation for this great work. 

Upon his passing, Bishop C.D. Willis, of Plain Dealing, Louisiana, was consecrated and appointed Pastor of Hendrix Temple by the Presiding Bishop and founder of Evangelist Temple HORFAN, Bishop S.R Chambers. 

Bishop Willis succeeded him as the International Prelate for the ET diocese, while still pastoring the local church. 

Bishop Willis was the second pastor of Hendrix Temple COGIC, and expanded on the vision of the founder. Through tent revivals, Holy Ghost services, and effective witnessing, the church grew. 

Bishop Willis pastored until God, through his divine providence, called Bishop Willis home to rest. 

Our current pastor, Elder Ron Blackmon, will continue in the same legacy of faith, family, and community. 

This church is a pillar of this community, and is here to stay!

Our Beliefs

We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten son of God the Father; who was crucified and raised from the dead for the salvation of all who trust in him. We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-4 and 1:29; Acts 1:11 and 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 and 4:15.


We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God revealing the love of God to the world.
1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; John 3:16.


We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6.

 We believe that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it.
We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy and separated life in the present world.
