THE REVELATION
Triumph the Church and Kingdom of God in Christ was
revealed to Bishop E. D. Smith in 1897. In his vision he saw several symbols, a
bride dressed in white, representing the purity of the church, an eagle,
representing the height of this gospel, and a lion representing the strength of
this gospel. The revelation was revealed to Bishop Smith in Robinsonville,
Mississippi and the first church building was constructed in New Orleans, LA.
Since 1897 Triumph the Church and Kingdom of God in Christ
has spread throughout the
United States and West Africa.
JACKSON'S CHURCH
In early 1940 Elder Jack Johnson, the first shepherd, purchased a lot at 1775
Booker street for the building of Jackson's church. There were approximately ten
members that had joined the Triumph Church organization; they held services in
Pearl, Mississippi.
In 1945 Jackson's Triumph Church was built at 1775 Booker
Street, under the leadership of Elder Jack Johnson, the Shepherd, and Elder Percy
Gibson, a gifted carpenter, along with the managers and supporters. The congregation
moved from Pearl, Mississippi to Jackson, Mississippi.
In the late 50's, the church at 1775 Booker Street was
completely renovated by Elder Percy Gibson, who was then the shepherd. The
old building was turned on the back side of the lot and used for the dining area,
shepherd's office, and bathrooms for the men and women. A new sanctuary was
beautifully constructed on the front of the old lot. The new sanctuary had a
seating capacity of approximately 125 people.
The Triumphant Saints worshiped at this location approximately
forty-one years. During this time several improvements were made to the church.
Another Revelation
In 1985 the Lord revealed to Elder Moses Gibson, the shepherd,
"it was time to move." In 1986 the membership moved to its present
location at 5302 Queen Mary Lane.
The first service in the new sanctuary was held January 1,
1986.
Since moving to the new location, the Lord has blessed tremendously. The membership has grown, physically and spiritually. Many
physical facilities have been added. Because of the many blessings the Lord
has bestowed upon the saints since moving, our current location is often referred to as the
"blessed corner."
