The genesis of worship services for The Kingsboro Temple Seventh-day Adventists can be traced back to Sabbath, September 7, 1991. That day of “celebration and praise” took place in the Gershwin Theater of Brooklyn College in Brooklyn, NY.

Kingsboro Temple sprang to life as the culmination of a four-week, borough-wide crusade conducted by Evangelist Charles D. Brooks, Speaker Emeritus of the Breath of Life Ministry. Pastor Brooks, now retired from Breath of Life, and his post as General Field Secretary for the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, and his team baptized 288 precious souls.

The Northeastern Conference appointed Dr. Abraham J. Jules as the pastor, who would shepherd the sheep. And, Dr. Jules went to work on finding a permanent home for his flock. Among those who formed the administrative core of what would become known as Kingsboro Temple, were Associate Pastors Courtney Goulding and Kenneth Jones; First Elder, Vincent Goffe; Church Clerk, Gigi Belhomme; Treasurer, Kenneth Scarlett; and a number of Bible Workers, who had labored in the campaign.

While the Gershwin Theater served as the site for services in the early days, three other locations were, also, utilized until the church finally settled for about a year at the Flatbush Church of the Redeemer. It was while conducting services at Flatbush Church that a prime piece of property in the Park Slope Section of Brooklyn was identified and purchased. The new home for Kingsboro’s family was what had once been a beautiful House of Worship was soon restored to beauty. And, while we give God the glory for what He has done, we’re also blessed to tell you that the members of the Kingsboro Temple family accomplished the vast majority of the renovation work needed to transform our purchase into a permanent place of worship.

On January 8, 1994 the joys of parenting came to the family as Kingsboro Temple gave birth to a “daughter” church, Immanuel Tabernacle of Seventh-day Adventists, which keeps the light burning at our former location in the Flatbush Church of the Redeemer, 494 West 23rd Street.

On February 25, 1997, Pastor Abraham J. Jules was re-assigned by the Northeastern Conference to the City Tabernacle Church in Manhattan. First Elder Vincent B Goffe was asked to serve as Interim Pastor of Kingsboro Temple until the arrival of a new pastor. The date, June 21, 1997, has now been inscribed into the Kingsboro Temple historical record, for it was on that date that Pastor D.L. McPhaull and his family arrived from the Germantown Church in Philadelphia, PA to become an intimate part of the Kingsboro Temple family.

Just as the Father took one, Saul and transformed him into Paul, so He has taken "Don Mac", a former radio personality and record industry executive and transformed him into Pastor D.L McPhaull, a phenomenal pastor, preacher, teacher, father, and friend. Equipped with the skills and gifts he had employed so effectively while working in the corporate arena, Pastor McPhaull now strives to turn those talents over to the Lord God on a daily basis to work towards fulfilling the Divine purpose of bringing Honor and glory to our Heavenly Father as we build-up the Kingdom of God, one life at a time.

After seven and a half years, Pastor McPhaull accepted a position in sunny California. December 25, 2004 was "Don Macs" final Sababth as the Senior Pastor of Kingsboro.

On January 22, 2005 Pastor Ainsworth E. Joseph, along with his wife Gillian, and their children Kohren, Kohrissa, and Kohriese, arrived from the Queensboro Temple of Seventh-day Adventists in Queens Village, New York as the third pastor of the Kingsboro Temple family. Pastor Joseph,a certified Marriage and Family therapist, is a people person wo makes an extra effort to know everyone by name.

Now that you know our past, we, the Kingsboro Temple family pray that you will stop by to worship the Lord with us - thus become a part of our present. And, we pray that you will even plan to come again and again, and in so, doing make yourself a part of our future - in Brooklyn and in “the Earth made new.”

May our Great God and King richly bless you as you join us in our praise and worship of Him, today - and forever.
