Dorchester Temple Baptist Church is a historic African American Baptist church at 670 Washington Street in Boston, Massachusetts. It is now known as Global Ministries Christian Church.[2]
The church was designed in 1889 by Arthur H. Vinal in the shingle style and added to the National Historic Register in 1998. The church was built for a Baptist congregation established in 1886, and is the oldest Baptist church building in Dorchester. It suffered some damage in the 1938 New England hurricane, which was repaired.[3]
In January 2010[4] the church started media ministry reaching all of North America under the name Boston Praise Radio,[5] which is available online and via Glorystar Satellite service on channel 1010.[6] In 2016, the church began broadcasting on WBPG-LP 102.9 FM.[7]
