Corinthian Temple Church of God in Christ
Moved by the Spirit of God, Elder Bennie Allison made preparations to organize a church, even though he was without the first month’s rent and without members.
Acting on faith and divine instruction from God and with only eleven members, Corinthian Church of God in Christ was officially opened in 1954.
For fifty years, Bishop Allison served as Founder and Pastor of Corinthian Temple Church of God in Christ. He will long be remembered for being a church builder, a builder of men, and for helping pastors all over the City of Chicago to renovate and build churches.
In 2004, Bishop Allison answered the call of his maker, and made his transition from the labor of this life to the rest and fellowship of the saints in Heaven. The mantle has been passed to his grandson, Bishop David Todd Whittley, who will, by the help of God, take the Corinthian Temple Church of God in Christ to another dimension in ministry.
