Bishop Arthur L. Manigault received Jesus Christ as his personal Savior in the early 1960s under the ministry of Calvary Pentecostal Church in Manhattan where Bishop Rosa A. Horne was Pastor. After being baptized and filled with God's Holy Spirit, he was persuaded to live a saved, sanctified life, and to win souls for Christ. He later became a member of Zion Hill Pentecostal Church of the Bronx where Bishop Harry W. Thompson was Pastor. It was under this ministry he was ordained a deacon and served the church faithfully in this capacity. He enjoyed teaching Sunday School and eventually he was appointed Sunday School Superintendent. Arthur was a prayer warrior and loved the Word of God. He received his call to the ministry and became a licensed Minister then an ordained Elder. In his season of change and new direction, he moved his membership under the leadership of now the late Apostle Johnnie L.

Bishop Manigault graduated from the Tabernacle of Prayer Bible Institute with a certificate in General Bible I and GBII. In the Fall of 1980 with the blessing of Apostle Washington, he moved to South Carolina to begin a ministry for the Lord. The ministry began with Bible Study and prayer in 1981 in the home in the Mitten Lane section of Moncks Corner. The outreach ministry grew with service being held in the Old Masonic Temple on Wall Street in March, 1981 to eventually relocating the church to its own building in the St. Stephens community. His Pastoral-ship was for over 35 years.
