Bible Deliverance Temple was founded in 1963.  It was birthed during   a revival conducted by the founder and pastor emeritus, Dr. H. K. McKnight.  From those early days in the old "Brigham Grocery" building, the church has grown into a complex covering four corners in the heart of historic Augusta, Georgia.

The church has an active Senior Citizen Outreach which conducts a monthly meeting that includes a hot meal and provides the attendees an opportunity to shop - free of charge - at its Harrisburg Neighborhood Food Bank store.

Bible Deliverance Temple has a biblical educational program for all age groups.  The church is a member and extension of the Logos Christian College and Graduate Schools and the Logos Global Network, located in Jacksonville, Florida.  Their bible college is scheduled to commence in the Spring of 2007.

The ministry of Bible Deliverance Temple has always been a diverse one.  The church has sent ministry teams as far away as South Korea, Haiti, Nicaragua, Belize, Guatemala, India, Africa, South America and Mexico.  However, with her interest throughout the years in foreign missions, the church has maintained a thriving home missions program that today receives most of its ministry focus. 

Two of the churches outreach programs the Harrisburg Food Bank and Clothing ministries distributes thousands of pounds of food and clothing each year. The church supports and provides training and meeting space for the CSRA Foster and Adoptive Parents Association and the CSRA Kid's Restart Advocacy Program.

Bible Deliverance Temple and its staff, along with the volunteers throughout the CSRA conduct two community outreach programs each week, targeting the children of the Harrisburg Neighborhood. The Monday night "Kid's Club" has an average of 80 children (grades K-5th) enrolled and the Friday night "Community Outreach Program" has an average enrollment of 120 (ages 4-18).  These programs provide instruction for character building skills, crafts, nutritional foods, activities and athletics.

The church has several new ministry expansions on the drawing board and has a goal of expanding to the next level of "excellence in ministry" that God has destined her to reach.
