Our History

True Covenant Family Worship Center originally known as True Holiness Pentecostal Church of Jesus Christ was founded in 1967 under the leadership of the late District Elder Sam Hall and Mother Olivia Hall. The ministry began as a beacon of hope in the Sunnyside community of Houston, offering a place where individuals and families could come to experience the transformative power of God. District Elder Sam Hall and Mother Olivia Hall led with unwavering dedication, nurturing the growth and spiritual foundation of the church until their transition.

The Legacy of THPC Continued....

Following the founding of True Holiness Pentecostal Church by District Elder Sam Hall and Mother Olivia Hall, the pastoral mantle was passed to their son-in-law, District Elder Keith E. Simpson, and their eldest daughter, Mother Esther Lee Hall Simpson, in 1988. Stepping into this role after the transition of Pastor Sam Hall, District Elder Simpson and Mother Simpson faithfully continued the work of ministry, co-pastoring and leading the church with unwavering dedication for 26 years until the mantle was passed to their son, Pastor Keith S. Simpson, on March 14, 2014.

During his pastorate, District Elder Simpson touched countless lives and endured numerous challenges, sustaining the ministry through God’s strength and the support of a committed church family. His resilience and faithfulness have left a lasting legacy within the church and beyond.

District Elder Keith E. Simpson brought his expertise as a Journeyman and Master Electrician and Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Contractor with Simpson & Sons into his ministry, using his talents to support the church and community practically as well as spiritually.

He held positions on advisory boards, served as Deacon, Head Deacon, Sunday School Teacher, and Superintendent, and was later ordained as an Elder after completing training with Aenon Bible classes. District Elder Simpson also served within the Texas State Council under several bishops, including Bishop Wauls, Bishop Ellis, Bishop Wagner, and Presiding Bishop Richard Young.

The ministry and leadership of District Elder and Mother Simpson left a profound impact on True Holiness Pentecostal Church, now known as True Covenant Family Worship Center, and their legacy continues to inspire future generations of believers and leaders.
