Elder Ted Scott received Harvest Temple as a vision from God in 1989 while he was stationed in West Germany. The Lord instructed him to return to Bossier City, LA and start the "Harvest Temple Church of God in Christ".

In May 1990 Harvest Temple was born. Pastor Ted Scott, Evangelist Daisy Lee Scott and their five children (Daniel, Ted, Marcia, Marcus, and Melody), Mother Rebecca Cooper, Mother Flossie Mae Scott, Christine Sanders, and Minister Edward and Sister Alicia Boyd were the beginning church. Church services were held at the Holiday Inn Bossier City. Prayer meetings were held at Sister Christine Sander's home and members came as the vision caught on.

Within a few months an opportunity came to have fellowship at 805 Eatman Street, Bossier City, LA. Harvest Temple shared the edifice with the Faith Temple Assembly of God. Sunday school started at 1:00 p.m. and worship service was at 2:00 p.m. A short time later the opportunity came and we were able purchase the church building. A seven year mortgage was taken out and the vision had taken root. Harvest Temple: "A Church For Those Who Want A Change. "

The Lord heard their prayers and supplication for men to help Pastor Scott and he sent laborers and prayer warriors to the ministry. Harvest Temple began to blossom. Lillie Shaw, Yvonne Jenkins, and Minister James and Sister Maxine Frazier were some of the first families to join the local church.
