Help Restore True Holiness Temple After Break-In & Vandalism

On behalf of True Holiness Temple in Cleveland, we are reaching out with heavy hearts — but unwavering faith.

Last week, our church , a historic house of worship that has served this community for generations, was broken into and desecrated.

Intruders forced their way inside and:

    •    Stole musical instruments used in worship

    •    Took extension cords and Power tools

    •    Entered our basement mechanical room

    •    Shut off our water supply

    •    Used our own Power tools to cut out and steal copper piping

This was not just theft, it was an attack on a sacred space that has been a refuge, a place of prayer, a community center, and a beacon of hope for Cleveland families.

We are currently in the middle of a restoration effort to preserve this sacred and historic structure for the next generation.

To restore the Temple and restore a generation.

And now — we need your help.

We believe what the enemy meant for harm, God will turn for good.

This building has stood since the early 1900s.

It has survived decades of change.

Together, we will rise stronger.
