As people Living Triumphantly Through Christ, we have access to the throne room of God (Hebrews 4:16). For the next six weeks, we're inviting the ATBC family to set aside focused daily prayer — for our church, our families, our community, and our nation.

The Allen Temple Nursery Ministry serves parents and guardians by providing a safe, secure, and loving environment for children ages 6 months to 5 years while their families are in worship, Sunday School, or special events.
The Nursery is currently seeking volunteers to serve our youngest members and guests. Volunteers are asked to serve on Sunday mornings from 9:00 AM to 30 mins after dismissal of worship. Special event times will be shared.
The Nursery Ministry strives to provide:
- Care for children safely and lovingly
- Support parents so they can fully engage in worship/community
- Begin laying a spiritual foundation, even in the earliest years
- Reflect Christ through hospitality and service
We are proud to share that our Senior Pastor, Dr. Jacqueline Thompson, has co-authored a timely and thoughtful op-ed in The Root titled “Our Ancestors Fought With Love — Now It’s Our Turn.”
The article reflects on a defining truth in the Black Church tradition: love has never meant silence. The love of our ancestors was courageous, disciplined, and public. It confronted injustice without surrendering to hatred. We encourage you to take a few moments to read the full piece here.
The article also introduces Love Free, a national movement rooted in faith and moral courage. Love Free is calling people of conscience to affirm that love and liberation still belong together — and to commit to practicing that love in tangible ways. You can learn more about Love Free and sign the pledge here.
