On Monday, July 6, 2008, Greater St. Stephens Full Gospel Baptist Church was gutted by a fire. After previously facing Hurricane Katrina and rebuilding, Pastor Debra B. Morton and Bishop Paul S. Morton was forced to rebuild yet again.

After being blessed to worship in New Orleans' Congregation Temple Sinai and a high school auditorium, God has truly blessed during the rebuilding process.

On Thanksgiving Day 2009, Bishop and Pastor Morton were blessed to come home to "Phase I" of returning back to their church in Morton Hall. As one who is apart of the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship, we excited for what God is doing at the "Mother church". Pastor Debra Morton preaches "Thank You For Staying In The Ship" and many can testify that it was a struggle but yet they endured.

P.S. Please take to comment and congratulate Greater St. Stephens on their great achievement and how you have been blessed by their ministry.
