Our journey of faith and fellowship
Welcome to the story of Total Praise Temple of Worship, a ministry built on faith, community, and the transformative power of God. Discover our beginnings, our mission, and the people who make our church a place of growth and belonging.
Our spiritual foundation
Total Praise Temple of Worship Church was established in August 2012, growing from a dedicated community choir into a fully established ministry committed to advancing the Kingdom of God. Under the visionary leadership of our Founder and Senior Leader, Apostle Dr. Louis M. T. Tatum, the ministry flourished from worship into a thriving church focused on teaching, deliverance, and spiritual development. We also honor Founder Mother Emeritus Marleece Carr‑Goodwin, whose early dedication, support, and spiritual guidance helped shape the identity and strength of our ministry. Their combined commitment laid the groundwork for a church built on faith, excellence, and the transformative power of Jesus Christ.
