During the succeeding years, the church moved several times to various locations on Chicago’s south side. In 1957, the congregation purchased property at 11325 South Halsted Street, built a church, and changed its name to Beulah Gospel Temple.
Sold
January 1, 1971
The building was sold to a Church of Christ in 1971, as most of the congregation had moved to the south suburbs. From 1971 to 1973 the congregation met in three different locations. During the transition, the name was changed to Homewood Full Gospel Church.

All Nations Community Church
May 27, 2001
Being a church made up of people from many different nations, it was voted upon, in May of 2001, to acquire the name of All Nations Community Church of Homewood. Over these years many ministers and missionaries were thrust out into the field both nationally and internationally through this church.
Burn the Mortgage
July 10, 2016
Sunday, July 10, 2016, was our “Victory Sunday”; we held a mortgage burning ceremony to commemorate the paying off of our mortgage!! As we look back at what God has done to bring us to this point, we thank God for people from various races and cultures, blended together as one body, worshipping and serving the Lord. We are looking ahead eagerly to what He is going to do. It is our prayer that everyone will experience God’s love and become complete in Christ Jesus. We also pray that we will experience a mighty revival from God.

"Yes, Lord"
"Yes, Lord! Jesus, I give all of this to you. Jesus," I just started out a dream for my neighbourhood. "I didn't ask you to make me a messenger to the world. I just wanted to love my neighbours. But Jesus, here it is. Here's my future, here's my loneliness, here are all the pressures, here are the criticism", and I gave Him everything. And I told Him to take me again and I would try to make "Yes, Lord" the continuing motto of my life..
