Whenever you hear people in Des Moines reference community, hope, and faith, they often reference Bishop Dwight A. Reed. He is known for his approachable personality and tremendous leadership. He has made Christ Apostolic Temple more than a building used on Sunday. He has developed a community where lives are changed daily with compassion, resources, and opportunities. A Vision Beyond the Pulpit Many people in the community have come to know Pastor Dwight Reed primarily from his sermons, but those of us who work alongside him see him truly in action every week. He believes a church needs to not just preach but meet real needs. His belief has transformed the Christ Apostolic Temple into an act of service for the whole city.
