History of Inspire Church

According to Inspire Church, it started in 1950 through the efforts of Bernice and Verbal Bean. 

The church said that the Beans received a calling from God to establish a church in East Houston. The church would start meeting at the Woodland Acres Elementary School.

By 1967, Verbal and his wife, Ana, were the pastors of the First Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ on Dewey Street. Unfortunately, Verbal Bean would meet his end from a collision with a drunk driver.

However, the church continued, and in 1988, it had R. A. Heard come in as a pastor. 

Under the leadership of Heard, the church experienced massive growth in number and activity. This growth would reach East Africa, with the pastor establishing the East Africa School of Biblical Studies.
