Holy Temple of God Incorporated originated in the year of 1975, in Keystone Heights, Florida. The first church was built there and is known as Foundation Holy Temple of God. The organization name "Holy Temple of God: came from one of the original founders Mother Coretha Byrd. Prior to starting of the organization followers of Bishop Camps were know as the "Camps Crusaders".

The organization began in Keystone because of the vision Bishop Camps had. He saw himself preaching in a field and there was no one there then he spoke and told the people to stand up and they started standing up across the field as far as he could see.

Bishop Walter Camps Sr. was the first Bishop of this organization and Bishop Ernest McGollie was the first assistant Bishop and Pastor Mamie Bryant, third assistant.

The organization grew under the Bishop Camps' leadership from 1975-2007. Churches were established in various states: Florida, Georgia, and Illinois.

After the death of Bishop Ernest McGollie in1998 Elder Harvey Hutchinson Jr. was appointed to the position of Assistant Bishop. On December 16, 2007 Bishop Camps passed away. After his death Bishop Harvey Hutchinson Jr. was voted in by the General Supreme Executive Board to be the Presiding Bishop of Holy Temple of God, Inc.

Holy Temple of God churches are located in Gainesville, Keystone, Palatka, and St. Augustine, Florida; Sylvester, Georgia and Rantoul, Illinois. Our associate churches are Gainesville Family Worship Center and Higher Anointing Community Harvest Center- Archer, Florida.

At this time, we know that the hand of God is on this organization. God is continuing to bless and we truly know where there is UNITY there is STRENGTH.
