Through the years, the ministry of Greater Bethlehem Temple (GBT) has helped many people spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Founded in 1933 by the late Bishop F. M. Thomas, GBT has been an inspiration not only in the city of Pittsburgh but around the world. GBT exists to bring good tidings unto the humble; assist and restore the broken-hearted, proclaim the liberating gospel to the captives, and reveal the love of Jesus to them that are bound. We do this through various ministry outreaches, equipping the saints, and preaching the uncompromised Word of God.
