Chief Apostle
Chief Apostle Dr. Clifford
E. Turner is a progressive and trend-setting leader
whose bold and convicting messages of salvation, healing,
deliverance, and restoration have torn down the barriers
of religion while building up the lives of the people
in this nation and nations across the world for nearly
30 years.
Apostle Turner founded
Liberty Temple Full Gospel Church and World Outreach
Ministries on March 14, 1982, in Chicago, Illinois;
the church started with two members, with Dr. Turner
as Pastor. Through the leading of the Holy Spirit,
Apostle Turner became the trailblazer of an apostolic
movement in which the City of Chicago had not seen.
By 1985, Liberty Temple had become one of the fastest
growing ministries of its time, outgrowing three locations
in three years.
Always concerned about
quality more than quantity, the hallmark of Liberty
Temple and the ministry of Apostle Turner is its effectiveness
in changing lives, tearing down strongholds, and reforming
mindsets. Despite ridicule, opposition, and religious
backlash, Apostle Turner dared to obey God and became
one of the first to introduce innovative ministry
concepts, including: husband and wife team ministry,
prophetic dance, drama ministry presentations, and
the acquisition of a retail mall. In 1987, Liberty
Temple moved its World Headquarters to Chicago’s
Auburn community. The main sanctuary sits on a two-square
block campus that includes the Logos Ministerial Training
Institute, television and radio studios, Liberty Academy,
banquet facilities, administration office building
and executive offices.
He has helped build
the foundation of true Outreach Ministry throughout
the Chicago Metropolitan area, always reaching out
to the underprivileged and taking the ministry beyond
the walls of the church. Some of Apostle Turner’s
outreach efforts included a GED Literacy Outreach
to the Robert Taylor Homes residents; Love In Action
– a food and transportation outreach provided
to housing development residents; Liberty Temple Prison
Outreach, which holds Bible studies in various correctional
facilities in Illinois, and involvement with over
60 other outreach ministries. In an effort to continue
to assisting the hurting, hungry and homeless, Dr.
Turner established the Denise M. Turner Foundation,
in honor of his late wife, who devoted her life to
philanthropy and providing assistance to the underprivileged.
Clifford E. Turner
also established the Liberty Temple Network, a consortium
of Apostolic/Prophetic churches with a mandate from
God to equip and perfect the saints. He presently
oversees churches throughout the United States of
America and abroad. Besides Chicago, Liberty Temple
Full Gospel Church houses churches in Waukegan, IL,
San Diego, CA, Orlando Florida, Fort Wayne, IN and
scheduled for 2004, Philadelphia, PA. Apostle Turner
oversees several covenant churches that are part of
the Liberty Temple Network which are located all over
the United States. Internationally, Apostle Turner
has pioneered over 40 churches in some of the world’s
most needy countries: India, Pakistan, Jamaica, Liberia,
China, Hong Kong and the Philippines. Additionally,
Dr. Turner established the Deleia Turner orphanage
in India, in honor of his late mother. Dr. Turner
also organized an international consortium of pastors
called OPERATION P.R.E.A.C.H., which mentors pastors
and networks outreach ministries globally.
In 2002, God has given
new direction to the ministry of Apostle Turner with
the launching of Clifford E. Turner Ministries –
a newly created ministry that is specifically dedicated
to the continuance of the apostolic mandate and kingdom
building charge placed on Apostle Turner’s life
to set the captives free.
Clifford Turner is
also an avid film producer, director and writer. He
founded HOLYWOOD Studios, a Christian owned Media
Company that produces several hundreds of dramatic
works. His most accomplished work, The Awakening,
began as a short film and evolved into the longest
running Christian mini-series. The Awakening received
a Midwest Emmy Award for Outstanding Achievement for
an Entertainment Program Series. The Awakening also
won four Angel Awards. This series continues to be
seen across America and around the world.
In addition to films,
Clifford Turner’s writing expanded to books.
His first book entitled Recovery, deals with understanding
and coping with life’s traumas. This book has
helped thousands deal with turbulent events in their
lives and brings healing to their emotions. Apostle
Turner has several additional books scheduled for
release including “Gifted, With No Character”
and “Recovery II”.
Apostle Turner has
become a respected leader in both the Kingdom of God
and the community. He has conducted the invocation
for the City Hall meetings in Chicago. He has visited
the White House twice to meet with the President of
the United States of America while serving on the
Religious Liaison Committee in an effort to communicate
the needs of inner city churches. On several occasions,
Apostle Turner has been selected as an honored member
of Who’s Who Among Outstanding Business Executives.
Apostle Turner has served on numerous boards and committees
with the ongoing focus to not only be an effective
minister, but to help others become effective leaders
who initiate change and challenge the status quo.
Apostle Turner is also
a devoted husband and father. He and his wife, Darlyn,
reside in the Chicago area with their nine children.
