About Totally Committed Healing & Deliverance Ministries
Ministry History
In April 1994, the late Bishop Gladstone Blake joined Neal Craddock and Jacqueline Benjamin in holy matrimony. The Lord pressed upon Neal's heart to return to his home church. Jacqueline agreed as she joined her husband at Blake’s Temple FBC. God has given Neal and Jacqueline a passion for reaching hurt, lost, dying souls. They begin youth rap sessions at their home, encouraging the youth to come back to church and build a relationship with Jesus Christ. Jacqueline started a single young mother support group.
In 1999, Neal & Jacqueline hosted their first "Soul Saving Conference." Many souls were saved and delivered. This became the foundation for Totally Committed Healing and Deliverance Ministries based upon Romans 12:1-2.
Due to physical conditions, Bishop Gladstone Blake retired from pasturing after 38 years. Elder Neal Craddock (who was born into the church) was installed as the new pastor in April 2005; Elder Lanz Lopez (who came in his teenage years) became the Assistant Pastor.

Our Religious Belief
We believe in the Holy Trinity - The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; feet-washing of the Saints, communion with pure juice and unleavened bread; a life free from sin. The death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, both water and Holy Spirit baptism, the second coming of Christ, his thousand-year reign on earth with the Saints, both eternal and everlasting life, and the resurrection of the righteous dead (Revelation 20:6). We believe that we the individual is the church (Matthew 16:15-18)
Our Goals
It is to feed and clothe the poor and those less fortunate. We want the community to know that we are here and care.
I want you to share your food with the hungry and to welcome poor wanderers into your homes. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help.
Isaiah 58:7 NLT
TCHDM will be reaching out to the community and selecting a family per month. We will present these families with a food box, toiletries, and an item of clothing per person.
