Baptist Faith & Message
Our Mission

Our mission is to make disciples by proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ, baptizing believers, and teaching them to obey His commands.

Our History

In May of 1964, the congregation of Temple Baptist Church was officially organized with 71 charter members. From these humble beginnings, the church has continued to grow, holding fast to the belief that He who began a good work in Temple will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
