Garfield Thomas Haywood

Garfield Thomas Haywood (July 15, 1880 – April 12, 1931) was an American pastor and songwriter who served as Presiding Bishop of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World from 1925 to 1931.

[1] Haywood's influence crossed ethnic boundaries,[2] and by 1913, Christ Temple had a biracial congregation of 400 to 500 which later grew to 1500.

Around 1915, Haywood received a copy of Frank Ewart's paper Meat in Due Season which argued for Jesus' Name doctrine.

He wrote tracts, such as "The Victim of the Flaming Sword" and "The Finest of Wheat" as well as published The Voice in the Wilderness, a publication that became the official organ of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World in 1925.

[5] In 1980, the city of Indianapolis designated the segment of Fall Creek Drive where Christ Temple is located as "Bishop Garfield T. Haywood Memorial Way" in his honor.
