FULL GOSPEL TABERNACLE CHURCH
Miami
Full Gospel Tabernacle Church Miami is a non-denominational religious institution established within A. Bayoro Ministries led by Apostle Dr. Appolinaire Bayoro. We are a trilingual house of worship that offers services in French, Creole and English. We also have Spanish translation if necessary.
At FGT, we start off the week with our worship service offered in French and Creole with live English translation. Our English worship service is offered solely in English. During the week, we offer bible study and fasting services, which are solely in French and Creole, evangelical service on Fridays, and end the week with a Morning Glory prayer & fasting service on Saturday.
Your children are welcome to worship with us in our weekly Children's Church during the hours of worship service. We are also open to everyone joining with us during Holy Communion offered monthly, on the 1st Sundays.
We hope to worship with you soon!
FGTIM's mission is primarily to capture souls for the Kingdom of Heaven. "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15). We strive to attract people from various walks of life, to have peace with God and peace with one another as God's people. "Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy ..." (Hebrews 12:14).
FGTIM focuses on spiritual development and training of people for the Kingdom of Heaven. We also focus on mental construction for creating leaders who operate in the world according to the example Christ set for his people.
The FGTIM vision extends well beyond the church four walls. We believe that God has placed us on earth to work as we will in heaven. We strive to become 'Kingdom Workers' and fulfill God's will. Our vision includes reaching out to the community not only to increase the following of Christ, but to also train younger generations to become leaders of tomorrow. We seek to cultivate a population of Kingdom workers to infiltrate the various sectors of the world and society, and to instill into society the word of God by leading with the Holy Spirit as a guide.
FGT Miami was established in 1999 after numerous wonderous crusades in South Florida. It began in a beauty salon in North Miami, which was offered by one of the initial church members on Sundays for worship service. The small group quickly grew from a few members to over 200 and moved to a larger establishment off of the I-95 expressway in Miami Gardens. After a few years , the congregation was obliged to relocate to its current location in Miami. Since then, FGTIM has been anchored in the heart of Miami growing daily and making continual efforts to impact the surrounding community.
FGTIM operates by the POWER of the Holy Spirit to testify of the Glory of God, that we might win souls for His Kingdom by SALVATION.
