\n\tBishop Carlis L. Moody<\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n
\n\tBishop Moody was born December 16, 1934 to Mr. Booker T. and Geneva Moody, in the city of Tifton, Georgia.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tHe was saved in September, 1944 and accepted the call to preach in July, 1946 in the city of Waukegan, Illinois. In October, 1950, he was ordained by the late Bishop W. M. Roberts. At the age of 16, he established a small church in Waukegan on Market Street with thirty-eight members and some children. At this young age, he also started a church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Later he was impressed of the Lord to submit each group to an older pastor in each of these cities. He took the group that was in Waukegan to St. James Temple Church of God In Christ in North Chicago, Illinois where Elder James W. Markham was the pastor. The group in Milwaukee was advised to go to Elder Dennis Flakes, who is now Bishop Flakes.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tElder Moody served as Youth Pastor at St. James Temple and as District Sunday School Superintendent from 1952 until 1957.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tLate in 1956, Mother Sadie Adams and her son Elder Eugene Adams went to Bishop L. H. Ford and asked him to send Elder Moody to Evanston, Illinois to open a church.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tElder Moody came to Evanston on January 7, 1957 and organized the church with a small group of six people. The Lord gave to the group the name "Faith Temple".\n<\/p>\n
\n\tSince that time, the Lord has blessed the congregation to grow from six persons to over two hundred families, and over five hundred members. In 1968, the congregation completed the first phase of church construction with a seating capacity of 450, when filled. After attending Moody Bible Institute, in 1970 Elder Moody traveled outside the United States for the first time. Since that time, he has ministered in over thirty-eight countries.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tElder Moody served as Vice-President of the Black Ministers Alliance of Evanston for two years. He also served as a member of the Curriculum Council for the Evanston Township High School for one year.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIn 1975, Elder Moody was appointed International President of the Home and Foreign Missions Department of the Church of God in Christ, which $\"moodytwo\"$ <\/a> reaches into over forty-nine countries.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIn 1976, he was elected to serve as a member of the Advisory Committee of the Pentecostal World Conference. He still serves in this capacity.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tAs a part of Bishop Moody’s local church Home Ministry, the congregation served as the Home Church for a Drug Rehabilitation Center, (Prevention, Inc.) for eleven years.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Faith Temple congregation ministered in their community through radio for thirteen years.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIn September, 1980, a new dimension was added to the ministry of his church. Bishop Moody was inspired to open a Christian School, "Faith Christian Academy", with grades Kindergarten through Third grade. The second year would cover Kindergarten through the sixth grade. The school is currently Kindergarten through eight grade. The second phase of construction was completed in June, 1986. The congregation of Faith Temple is presently building a completely new religious\/educational complex which is scheduled to be dedicated February, 1998.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIn 1982, Elder Moody was consecrated as Missionary Bishop in the Church of God in Christ.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tBishop Moody heads all of the mission work of the Church of God in Christ in all foreign countries as well the United States. He is the International President of the Home and Foreign Missions Department. Bishop Moody is also the Jurisdictional Bishop of Germany.\n<\/p>\n
