Welcome to Temple Baptist Church! We are a small church family of believers who are living —Life in Christ, Life Together— by studying and exalting God’s Word, sharing the good news of Christ’s love, ministering in love to one another, and growing in our Savior’s likeness. We hope you come for a visit and feel at home!
