A church built family-first.
Watson Temple Apostolic Church has been a home of worship, teaching, and outreach for the Antioch and Oakland communities — built on the conviction that the church is a family before it is anything else.
To love God, love people, and walk together in faith.
Under the leadership of Bishop James L. Williams, we exist to make disciples — through worship that lifts the room, teaching that shapes the week, and outreach that reaches past our walls into the streets of Antioch and Oakland.
Apostolic. Pentecostal. Personal.
We hold to the Apostolic faith — the oneness of God, salvation through repentance, baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit. We believe these truths are not theory; they are the doorway to a transformed life.
Four convictions that shape everything.
Love First
We love because He first loved us. Every door is open and every seat is for you.
Rooted in Scripture
The Word of God is the foundation of everything we teach, sing, and live out.
Family, Not Audience
We don't gather to watch — we gather to grow alongside one another.
Transformed Lives
We believe God is still in the business of healing, restoring, and calling.
"We are not just a church — we are a family."Plan Your First Visit
