Born in Jefferson County, West Virginia to the late E. Eugene and Frances Baltimore, Bishop Baltimore’s ministerial gifts were exercised at an early age under the tutelage of his father, the late Bishop E. Eugene Baltimore, who was the Pastor of the Baltimore Temple Church in Ranson, West Virginia and also President and Senior Bishop of the King’s Apostle Holiness Church of God, Incorporated. As he began to further seek the Lord concerning his ministry, God prepared him for a most unusual anointing. The Lord not only blessed him in a spiritual manner, but also in a way wherein he could communicate with, and relate to people on many levels.

In October of 1967, the Lord visited Bishop Baltimore in a vision and showed him a field that needed harvesting – some of the crop was ripe and some was not. The Lord then equipped him and directed him to move his family to Maryland. In March of the following year, the Lord so moved and the Holy Temple Church of God was established. The seed had been planted and continues to be watered and nurtured through the Word of God that Bishop Baltimore teaches and lives in his home, church and community.
