Our Story
Holy Ghost Temple Church was founded by Bishop Leroy Stovall, who, alongside Lady Joanne Stovall, established a soul-saving, faith-based ministry focused on healing and deliverance in West Springfield, MA. In 1991, Bishop Stovall received a divine vision to build God a new house. With unwavering faith and determination, the church rallied together to raise funds and purchase land in West Springfield.
For a decade, Bishop Stovall persevered through challenges with the city to secure permission to build on the property. Victory came, and ground was broken—marking the beginning of a new chapter. After four years of construction, in 2005, Bishop Stovall’s vision was fulfilled with the completion of a beautiful, God-designed sanctuary located at 30 Massasoit Avenue, West Springfield, MA.
Today, the legacy continues under the leadership of Pastor Eugene C. Stovall, who serves as Senior Pastor with a heart for restoration, discipleship, and authentic community. Raised in a heritage of faith, Pastor Eugene carries a pastoral anointing that blends biblical truth with practical application. His Spirit-led teaching is transformational—meeting people where they are while guiding them toward God’s purpose.
Pastor Eugene is committed to strengthening families, restoring hope, and equipping believers to live victorious lives through Christ. His leadership emphasizes spiritual maturity, emotional health, and purpose-driven living. Under his care, Holy Ghost Temple thrives as a multi-generational, Spirit-filled church rooted in worship, the Word, and service.
Together with his wife, First Lady Dairysol Stovall, Pastor Eugene leads with integrity, humility, and a passion for seeing lives transformed by the power of Jesus Christ.
