Our Story
"For who hath despised the day of small things...for they shall rejoice" Zech. 4:10 Spiritual Israel Temple of Christ is the manifestation of a vision given by God to an 8 year old boy to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Isaiah Simpson founded Spiritual Israel Tempe of Christ on Wednesday, October 26th 2005 with two friends, hosting bible conversations after school on his front porch. In 2007 Pastor Simpson was licensed and later ordained to preach and the church moved in the Simpson family garage and was affectionately known as "The Garage Church". The church had such a positive impact on the youth, parents donated folding chairs and musical instruments. After years of continued growth, Pastor Simpson no longer pastored youth but adults began joining, making Spiritual Israel a full ministry. God continued to grow Pastor Simpson and Spiritual Israel to the point where the garage was not able to hold the greater blessings that was in store. On November 9, 2014, God moved the church into 266 East Lincoln Highway in Chicago Heights, Illinois where we grew and became a strong and vibrant congregation. We stayed there for 6 years. As the Lord continued to grow us. 266, which only held 100 people was too small to hold us. In 2020, the Lord moved us into Brother's Keeper Outreach Church right |
across the street. SITOC worshipped at Brother's Keeper Outreach Church at 283 E. Lincoln Hwy for 3 and a half years. God then moved us from Chicago Heights into Harvey IL. Spiritual Israel marched into 515 E. 147th Place in Harvey IL on June 2nd 2024.
HOW CAN I BE SAVED?
You're not saved by any actions or deeds except that you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died, was buried and rose again. Accepting Him into your heart automatically makes you saved!
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior just simply repeat this prayer,
“Dear God come into my life, I believe in your Son, Jesus Christ, and that you raised him from the dead. Fill me now with your Holy Spirit that I may live for you in, Jesus' Name, Amen.

WHAT TYPE OF CHURCH IS SPIRITUAL ISRAEL?
- Non-Denominational- We believe that God is coming back for one church. We believe that one is saved through the finished work of Calvary and not their denominational affiliation. We believe that there are true believers in Christ all across the denominational spectrum.
- Pentecostal in Experience- We believe in the experience that the early church had on the day of Pentecost in where they were baptized in the Holy Spirit. We believe that the believer can still experience this today.
- Apostolic in Doctrine- We believe in the teaching of Jesus through the Apostles. That means we believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, water baptism in His name, the fivefold ministry, miracles, signs and wonders. (Acts 2:42)
- Israel in Identity - We believe Israel is the name God purposed for all believers to be called and the Christ fulfilled traditions of the Hebrews is the inheritance of all believers (Isaiah 44:5; Galatians 3:29)
- Spiritual in Practice - We believe God is a Spirit and manifests Himself and His miracles in various ways. We allow God to manifest His miracles through the anointing of oil, the lighting of candles, the burning of incense and other methods described in the Old Testament Tabernacle. God is a Spirit and always needs a body to operate in, whether it's a body of wax, oil, water or even smoke.
