Morris Memorial Church Of God In Christ

Morris Memorial COGIC History

"We've Come This Far By Faith" Morris Memorial (Morris Temple / Milwaukee Temple) was founded by Bishop W. L. & Ava Morris in March 1942. Bishop & Mother Morris served the people of God for over 30 years. During which time they led the membership in building two churches. The Morris Temple COGIC on 1441 N. 7th Street; which was the headquarters for Southeast Wisconsin, 1st Jurisdiction for over 25 years. Morris Memorial was the second church built at 1400 W. Locust. Bishop Morris passed prior to the completion of the second church and his Assistant Pastor carried the mantel. Elder Garnett Herron who had joined the church in the early 40's and served as deacon, driver, janitor etc picked up the mantel and completed Bishop's vision. The membership remained on Locust street for over 20 years. The congreation was forced to move after the Lord miraculously spared us from destruction due to a gas leak by a neighboring service station. " Just Want My Ways To Please The Lord" In the early 90's Elder Herron led the congregation to the current location 9619 W. Lisbon Ave. The Lord continues to keep and bless us. We have a beautiful sanctuary with unlimited space for worship and training. Next door the Pastor & Wife live in the beautiful cedar parsonage. The pastor and congregation contend for the faith that was delivered to the early church. Yes, we have come this far by faith and we shall continue to let our ways please the Lord.
