This ministry was started with four founding members. Bishop Agee has earned an A.A. in Biblical Studies from Moody Bible Institute and a B.A. in Intercommunications from Trinity University.

Guided by his leadership, Praise Temple is now a dynamic ministry that is active and effective in youth, evangelism, social service, and outreach to people struggling with substance abuse and those effected with HIV and AIDS.
