Founded

KRST Universal Temple was founded May 2000. A group of Afrikan Americans responded to the call of the All Mighty and Great Eternal Creator to move out on faith and to exercise control over our own spiritual, economic, social and cultural destiny.

The temple’s pastor is Baba Derrick Jackson.

The temple logo was designed by Shevohn Floyd as a young child at the temple and Baba Sietu Amenwahsu.

Temple logo symbology:

Ma'atian feathers - truth, justice, righteousness, harmony, balance, order, propriety and reciprocity

Eye of Heru - ancient Kemetic symbol representing the God of Light
Triangle - represents the pyramids of ancient Egypt
Colors - black, the presence of all colors and the colors of the rainbow

Our wayKRST Universal Temple is not just a sanctuary, but a family where people of Afrikan ancestry can come and manifest their higher selves through self-realization or being able to reach the power and passion of one’s God-given potential. Here at this Temple we create the spaces where your God-given potential is nurtured, nourished, provided for and protected.
