Bishop W.F. Lucas, the esteemed founder of Lucas Temple of the Church of God in Christ, passed away in March, 1994, yet his influential legacy continues to resonate today. Throughout his ministry, Bishop Lucas preached God's divine word with unwavering conviction, delivering a pure and unadulterated message without hesitation. In a contemporary society that often shies away from the truth, where some preachers may dilute the gospel, the foundational teachings of Bishop Lucas remain firmly rooted in the hearts of those who genuinely believe and follow the Lord Jesus Christ.

Bishop Lucas championed the principles of holiness, firmly adhering to the tenets of the Bible and encouraging his congregation to do the same. He believed in embracing scripture word for word, emphasizing a life led by faith, integrity, and righteousness. His commitment to holiness and the truth of God's word shaped his ministry and inspired countless others to live in accordance with biblical teachings.

As an advocate for what is considered the Apostle's doctrine, Bishop Lucas often referenced scripture to support his teachings. A pertinent passage is found in the Book of Acts, which states:

“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” (Acts 2:36​-38, KJV)

Bishop Lucas's dedication to these teachings ensured that his legacy of faith, holiness, and devotion to the Word of God continues to thrive in the hearts of believers.
