LOS ANGELES, CALIFONIA - Pastor Melvin and Millie Harrel
“Full Gospel Tabernacle” Prince played in the halls, classrooms, bell tower, and under the cross; of this small-town “mega-church,” 3 to 5 times per week.
"Once upon a time, this was: Prince Jordans "Christian-wonderland-playground."- Complete with home, family, track / baseball field, church, Christian and secular schools all rolled into one."
You are looking at Prince backyard from: (1985 to 1990)
(1.) His home church.
(2.) To the right / behind church is: “junior”-high school- he attended.
(3.) The “third house” his mom and dad bought is in the back; to the far left; (hidden by trees.) 1113 East North Avenue,
The Full Gospel Tabernacle Church in Reedley was put on the map, by: “(Los Angeles / Glendale) Pastor-Melvin Harrell. He oversaw every aspect of the church and congregation and drove it nearly to a “super-star-mega-church status.” How did he do that? The reason is simple.
Melvin was a student and trained by: The world famous legendary: “Los Angeles” Female (Pastor) Aimee McPherson. Now to be fair, alot of people studied Mrs. McPherson’s, work: but Melvin was not just anybody, he was: trained (one on one) by her. As a direct result: he didn’t miss a beat and it showed. Now: Aimee was a female pastor, therefore it can be argued, due to her training the Reedley, California (FGT) church model that Melvin followed was hers., His was just like the one she made in Los Angeles. Everything Pastor Harrell did; had a seamlessly- defined “woman’s touch.” From his Itinerary to decorations. Everything was very reminiscant of her stylings
On another note: During Pastor Harrel’s tenure, this church was “fully-super-functional” and had several exciting departments, and was always packed from floor to ceiling. (both levels overflowing.) Pastor Harrel was no joke. He created a following of several thousand church goers, every Sunday with (two or three services.) As a result of his hard work, years later- he was awarded, one of the highest pastoral awards in California history.
Sadly, after Melvin left the church: (FGT) barely had 100 regular attendees and the houses the church had amassed to keep Pastors in; were plundered and sold, by the new pastors. The Church; still occasionally fills up, but it is not even close to what Pastor Harrell’s, church did.
*(NOTE) Pastor Melvin’s own grandson; (Stephan Harrell) was killed in a car-accident. afterword’s, the Pastor and his wife, Milliie became: “surrogate” grandparents to Prince because: Prince and Stephan were friends and class-mates.
*(NOTE) In 2019 / 2020: When the pastor got sick, (at the end of his life,) Prince was (one of the only people) from that entire church; that cared enough to visit with the pastor that he loved and who loved him, one last time- in the Clovis, California Emergency Room.
