When is this happening?
“In visions of the night, representations passed before me of a great reformatory movement among God's people. . . . Hundreds and thousands were seen visiting families and opening before them the word of God. Hearts were convicted by the power of the Holy Spirit, and a spirit of gen-uine conversion was manifest.” ─White, Ellen G., Testimonies for the Church Volume 9, p.126 (Emphasis Supplied)
WE CANT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU!
God's plan for the support of His work on this earth is through the tithe and freewill offerings of His people. The tithe is the main source of funding for the total proclamation of the gospel to all the world by the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Because the tithe is reserved for a special purpose, freewill offerings must provide the funding for the many local functions of Linwood SDA Temple.

Our BELIEFS
GOD
God is love, power, and splendor—and God is a mystery. His ways are far beyond us, but He still reaches out to us. God is infinite yet intimate, three yet one, all-knowing yet all-forgiving. We will spend eternity cherishing an ever-deepening relationship with God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Our History
C.M. Kinney - a former slave, distributed tracts and "The Great Controversy" throughout Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and the Midwest. He became the first Black ordained Seventh-Day-Adventist minister. As the result of his work, churches sprang up in Missouri and Kansas.
In 1899, the Kansas City, Missouri church was organized with 14 new believers and 30 Sabbath School members. There were 50 attending a Mission Sunday School, according to the district leader, Sydney Scott from the Kansas Conference.
The Kansas City, Missouri group met in a rented hall until the property owned by the Pacific Press near the corner of 13th and Euclid Streets became available for purchase in 1926. The building on the property was a warehouse converted into a place of worship. Funds were scarce because of the depression and World War II which made supplies difficult to obtain. Elder Adolphus Webb started a building project using stones and steel from a demolished brewery. This building became The Beacon Light Church in 1942.
Elizabeth Hanks, who later became Elizabeth Miller, married Elder Henry J. Miller who was the first Black Bible Worker in the Central Union Conference. These were the parents of Helen E. Miller-Kanion. Mrs. Miller was one of the original members of the Kansas City, Missouri church.
Other early members were, Brother and Sister Cravens (Newman), Daisy Timmons and her sister Mercedes Matthews, Alice Hughes, brother and sister Penney, Sister Madison, Ada Thomas, Lorene Brown, Juanita Kenneymore, Francis Flounoy, Sister Oliver, Sallie Holmes, Clara Franklin of the Kansas City Call Newspaper, the Vertis family, Gertrude Valentine and family, Thelma Brown and family, Bertha Tillmon, Fannie Wright, Josephine Washington, Ruth Banks Johnson and family, along with many others who joined in the late 40's and early 50's.
The pastors of the church are not known prior to the 1930's. It is likely that a district leader was assigned from the Kansas Conference through the Central Union Conference. Leaders were R.T. Hudson, Albert Gaynes Thompson and Louis B. Reynolds. After the 1930's, pastors included: 1942 - Adolphus Webb, 1947 - Henry Miller, 1952 - D.B. Reid, 1955 - Xavier Butler, 1956 and later- Monroe Burgess, G. Hefrin Taylor, Eugene Carter, J.D. Parker, and Rawdon Brown.
In 1972 the building at 4300 Linwood Boulevard was purchased and the church was named Linwood Boulevard Seventh-day Adventist Temple. The pastor at that time was T.A. McNeally. Other pastors included: Hector Mouzon, Barry Brandon (interim), Randolph P. Stafford, James E. White, Jr., Emmit Slocumb, Gil Webb, Reuben Roundtree, Jr., Marcellus P. Howard, James E. White, Jr. (2nd time). Our present pastor is Joseph T. Ikner II. The Linwood Boulevard Seventh-Day-Adventist Temple is part of a world-wide organization with more than 15 million members in countries around the world.
We are a warm and inviting church where all members are trained and active in ministries that cater to the needs of the church and community. As our church experiences spiritual growth and expansion throughout the city, we are continuing to implement a variety of creative ministry opportunities.
Our Mission is to educate, nurture and empower disciples for Jesus Christ to minister to the needs of the community as we share the gospel.
