About Our Church

Jesus once said that the greatest actions we as humans take in life are to love God first, with everything we have, and then to love our neighbors as we love ourselves (Matthew 22:34-40).  He was saying that the meaning of life is found in relationships: a personal relationship with God through Christ; a relationship with other people; and a relationship with ourselves.  This is what Temple Baptist Church is all about-being a Christ-centered church where people can find and build relationships!
