Thompson Temple COGIC

Established in 1951 under the guidance of Bishop Joseph Anthony Thompson and Missionary Carrie Brown Thompson, Thompson Temple Cogic has evolved from humble beginnings in a tent to a splendidly renovated Temple located on Whitney Avenue in Gretna, Louisiana. Nestled conveniently near the Oakwood Shopping Center and just a stone's throw away from downtown New Orleans, the church is an integral part of the Church of God in Christ (COGIC), upholding Pentecostal Christian values that emphasize holy living, the teachings of God’s Word, and active community engagement.

For over a decade, Superintendent Keith E. Thornton, Sr., alongside First Lady Jacqueline J. Thornton, have guided the congregation, fostering a welcoming environment that extends beyond traditional worship. Housing a versatile multi-purpose center and the Family Life Community Center, Thompson Temple Cogic offers a range of programs designed to empower and uplift the local community, staying true to its deep-rooted commitment to faith and service.
