A Great Builder of Churches
Bishop John Seth Bailey
A Great Builder of Churches
Bishop John Seth Bailey
Born on June 9, 1896, John Seth Bailey is a man who gave his whole heart to God. He and his late wife founded the Bailey Temple Church of God in Christ on McKinley Avenue on Detroit’s west side. From having a tent with only four members, his church grew and many souls were saved, healed, and delivered.
John Seth Bailey was appointed as the Overseer of the State of Southwestern Michigan in 1946. The state grew from having only 34 churches to 125 churches and missions. He was considered a great builder of services and a father to many people.
Later on, John Seth Bailey became the pastor of Livingstone Street Church of God in Christ, the mother church of the Church of God in Christ in the state of Michigan. This church was eventually named after Bishop Bailey. Hence, it was renamed “Seth Temple”.
The late founder of the Church of God in Christ, Bishop Charles H. Mason, appointed John Seth Bailey to the general board of Bishops.
