Donald Harold Jordan, Sr., was appointed pastor of Allen Temple by Bishop Henry A. Belin after 17 years at Quinn Chapel AME Church also in Cincinnati.

Jurisdictional Bishop Robert V. Webster served as Allen's interim pastor for four months (July to November 2005).

Soon, he adopted the theme "Becoming Whole Through Christian Living" and the church once again experienced tremendous growth in a relatively short time.

In November 2007, Thompson returned to Atlanta to become the founding pastor of Redemptive Life Christian Fellowship Church.

In December 2003, Dayton, Ohio native Cory W. Ferguson returned to Allen Temple after having been gone for a year after leading the church's youth choir.

At its peak, the ministry had over 110 children, youth and young adults, not even including their parents and other helpers and supporters within the church.

UBYM eventually became very active in the community, singing and dancing at various churches, gospel concerts and other Christianity-related functions.

In September 2009, Ferguson left Allen Temple and has since relocated back to Dayton, where he attends Liberated in Christ Ministries, pastored by his godmother, Apostle Diane Parks-Love.
