ABOUT US

WELCOME TO TEMPLE CHURCH OF CHRIST

We're so glad you're here! Here is where you'll find out more about who we are and what we believe. We would love for you to join us!

OUR HISTORY

STATEMENT OF FAITH

We Believe In The Life, Death, Burial, And Resurrection Of Jesus

In the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. We believe that He ascended on high and has sent His Spirit (the Holy Ghost), which was poured out at Jerusalem over 1900 years ago, and it is this same Spirit that is filling the hearts of those who diligently seek Him today. (Mark 8:31; Acts 1:9; Luke 24:50-52; John 14:26)
We Believe In One God

In one God, who is infinite in power, holy in nature, attributes, and purposes, as well as omniscient and omnipresent. We believe that he was revealed to us as Father in creation, as Son in redemption, and as Holy Spirit in His comforting grace that never leaves those who trust Him. (Deuteronomy 6:4; John 1:1; Colossians 1:15-17)
We Believe In Living A Holy, Sanctified Life

In living a holy, sanctified life. We believe in divine healing, communion, and footwashing. We believe also in the glorious catching away of the saints when Jesus returns in the clouds in glory to take away his people to heaven (the Rapture). (John 11:2; Matthew 26:26-28; Mark 13:26
We Believe In The Bible

In the Bible, the inspired and infallible word of God, written by Holy men of old, as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (II Timothy 3:15-16)
We Believe In Baptism Of The Holy Ghost

In baptism of the Holy Ghost and in baptism in water by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and the baptism of the Holy Ghost, speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. This constitutes the new birth. (Acts 2:4-8; Acts 2:38)
We believe

The answer
We Believe That Jesus Was Both Human And Divine

That Jesus was both human and divine, and further, that Jesus was God, manifested in the flesh, the eternal father made visible. (Matthew 3:16-17; I Timothy 3:16)
