I have been at Temple for one year today. The following list is a recap of the major details of what God has been doing in our church since last October.

  • Lives have been changed through a variety of ministries.
  • Our average attendance has increased by over 30%. We frequently run in the 120’s on Sunday mornings in comparison to 85 (which included two families that have moved from the area) a year ago.
  • Our high before September 30th was 150.
  • On September 30th we had over 200 people and one profession of faith.
  • We have seen at least 25 professions of faith.
  • We have had 27 additions (14 baptisms).
  • We have restored a family that had a terrible experience with sin.
  • We have started two new bible studies through the week for men and women.
  • We have implemented Faith Evangelism with 8 teams making home visits.
  • We have built 4 new class rooms in our education building.
  • We built an additional gravel parking lot.
  • We have started Faith Promise Giving and over doubled our mission’s offerings.
  • We started supporting Jeremy Flanagan and Pathway Baptist in Fayetteville, AR.
  • We took our first mission trip with 19 people (Fredericksburg, VA). We saw several professions of faith from this trip!
  • Tommy Slinker’s life was transformed then shortly after he surrendered to the ministry.

Thank you Lord for working in my life and empowering me to lead TBC to get involved with you and your kingdom work! In Jesus Name. Amen.

What a great first year, it will be exciting to see what God does in year two. By the way did you kill a deer?
