​A New Ministry for a New Reality
​
The Temple of Light & Life is a 'Free Church' dedicated to awakening the spirit, renewing the mind, and restoring lives in every dimension—spiritual, emotional, physical, financial, and legal.
Here, “church” is not a building or brand, but a spiritual family of those who seek to do the Father’s will and follow the guidance, commands and footsteps of Jesus in our time.​
​​
​'Free Church' means that we have God and Jesus Christ Michael as the Authorities over our church. We ARE NOT a corporation/business. The Temple of Light & Life is an example of what the original churches were BEFORE secular systems were in place. Research the term 'Free Church' for more clarification. Click Here

Bishop Michael M. VanHelsing
Bishop Michael M. VanHelsing serves as the Presiding Bishop of the Temple of Light & Life and is the current holder of the Office of Bishop. In this capacity, he provides spiritual leadership, oversees the Temple’s religious mission, and administers its ministerial, educational, stewardship, and community-service activities in accordance with the Temple’s governing documents and applicable law.
Here are some words from our Bishop:
"God bless you all, I’m Bishop Michael Machette VanHelsing.
If you’re here, I’m guessing you already know something’s not right. You’ve felt that quiet voice telling you that you can’t rely on the mainstream narrative — you’ve probably been looking for a way out, and a way up. I know the feeling. I remember it well.
​
I had a dream in 2007 that felt like I was receiving direct orders from God. The message in the dream was a command to take care of children, start a church and to 'cast out devils'. Although it seemed impossible to do, I agreed to do as I was told.
​
The Temple is about connecting awakened, likeminded people who can support each other on the journey to independence from the mainstream narrative.
No matter what part you are meant to play in this Divine adventure, I am here to help you."
~Michael 'Machette' VanHelsing D.D.
​
The Role of an Ordained Bishop in Any Given Community
​
- Spiritual Leadership:
A bishop serves as a spiritual overseer, ensuring that at least one church remains rooted in truth and that its leaders are faithful to God’s commands.
- Community Protector:
Bishops are called to protect their community from spiritual, physical and moral dangers. They are the first line of defense against false teachings, demonic influences, and societal corruption.

Online Weekly Lessons
August 29, 2026
In these lessons, we explore two powerful biblical truths: God dwelling within believers and having the mind of Christ. Using the Bible and the Urantia Book. We explore what these teachings mean, how they transform a person’s life, and how they can be practiced daily through prayer, obedience, surrender, and renewing of the mind.
September 20, 2026
- Wisdom of Solomon 1:12–16 (1611 KJV): “Seek not death in the error of your life… For God made not death… For righteousness is immortal.” We unpack how this apocryphal wisdom text reveals that God did not design creation for destruction, but for life, health, and enduring righteousness. - Wisdom of Solomon chapters 2–3: The mindset of the ungodly (“let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die”) versus the destiny of the righteous whose “souls are in the hand of God” and whose “hope is full of immortality.”

NOTE: I, Machette Michael VanHelsing will say this in PLAIN ENGLISH, NOT LEGALESE! The Temple of Light & Life was not created with the intent of helping criminals or the criminal minded get into or out of trouble. We are NOT responsible nor liable for the independent actions of those we Baptize and/or ordain. HOWEVER, we are in the process of creating an internal ecclesiastical tribunal to deal with those ordained and baptized through our organization and we have an ecclesiastical network of Bishops, Priests and others that will assist us in enforcing Ecclesiastical Law. There is also the eminent and sure punishment that must be decided by the Creator himself.
We believe there has always been another way—a Kingdom way of life that has never been extinguished, only overshadowed. Our community structures help you step gradually from dependence on secular systems into a more righteous, resilient way of living.
Tribunal/Church Court
At the Temple of Light & Life, we honor the ancient right of God’s people to seek justice under divine law—not the shifting statutes of man. Our newly established Ecclesiastical Tribunal serves as a sacred forum for resolving disputes, settling grievances, bringing evil to justice and affirming the spiritual sovereignty of our members. Rooted in scriptural authority (Matthew 18:15-17, 1 Corinthians 6:1-8) and centuries of canon law tradition, this tribunal operates beyond secular systems, offering biblically grounded counsel, mediation, and binding decisions for those who choose covenant justice over civil litigation.
Whether addressing matters of contract, family, or ministry, our tribunal ensures fairness, confidentiality, and alignment with eternal principles. Step into righteous order—your spiritual and communal peace is our sacred charge.​
Private Trust
.jpg)
The Temple of Light & Life includes a Religious Private Trust as part of its foundational stewardship structure. The trust is intended to support the orderly holding, administration, and protection of resources dedicated to the Temple’s religious mission, ministry activities, educational work, charitable service, and long-term continuity. It is designed to help maintain clear records, responsible stewardship, and a stable framework for resources used in support of the Temple’s stated religious purposes.
​
The Religious Private Trust operates in alignment with the Temple’s spiritual mission and commitment to integrity, accountability, and lawful administration. Its purpose is not to create personal ownership of ministry assets or to avoid legal responsibilities; rather, it provides an internal structure for safeguarding resources, documenting designated gifts and property, and supporting the Temple’s continuing work. Any trust activity, donations, property matters, financial practices, or public representations are handled according to applicable law, governing documents, and appropriate professional guidance.
