Our History
Praise Temple has been established more than 40 years in Raleigh, North Carolina. In 2005, Senior Pastor Vernon Spinks was given a vision by God to open a location in Fredericksburg, VA. In 2008 we completed the remodeling of our own new worship center in the heart of historic downtown Fredericksburg which seats 200. In March 2011 we moved to a new location on Courthouse Rd. The Lord moved mightily during our tenure on Courthouse Rd. On March 4, 2018, Praise Temple VA purchased a new location in Woodford, VA.
