Reverend Stephen T. Lush became Pastor of the Temple of Prayer and Praise in December of 1996. He pastored our church until December of 2015, at which time, he lost a courageous battle against cancer. Pastor Lush truly had a Shepherd's heart. His kindness, gentleness, and his meekness touched many within and outside the ministry. He had a deep passion and commitment for the Spirit of Revival in the Greater Napanee area. He was also passionately involved in an outreach ministry that aimed at delivering Bibles into the hands of countless less fortunate peoples of Bulgaria. Pastor Steve was fully committed to the Gospel of Grace. His theme served as an anchor, chart, and compass for pastoral ministry and was very simple; yet very grounded - "Love God, and Love People!". He is sadly missed and will never be forgotten. His legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of those true believers at the Temple of Prayer and Praise, as well as the numerous others he touched throughout his ministry.
With God's help, we are endeavoring to be "AN OASIS OF LOVE IN A TROUBLED WORLD". In our fellowship you will find people who are at different stages of their Christian growth and while we are not perfect, we are endeavoring to become more like our Master, Jesus Christ. If you live in the Napanee area and do not have a home church, we would love to have you join us. If you do not live in this area, but are planning to visit it, why not drop in on one of our services and worship God with us.
