The Gathering


The Gathering happens every Wednesday here at Temple Baptist Church from 7:30-9pm. If you are in grade 7, grade 12, or anywhere in between come out to the Gathering. We have fun through time of worship (through prayer, singing, and a message), snacks, and just time to hang out with other christians and friends.

Stay tuned to the Blog for updates and coming events.

Student Ministries
What is R.E.A.L. S.M. all about?

R – Relationships (community/fellowship)
Relationships are everything! Authentic relationships are hard to come by these days. What we do at youth exists to make our relationships stronger because having healthy relationships with our family, friends, and community impacts our quality of life and our ability to positively influence others.

E – Equip (discipleship/ministry)
Equipping students with God’s truth and learning a proper concept of Christ, students will be more prepared to serve in the church effectively, and be motivated to care for the world around them (Ephesians 4:11-13).

A – Attitude (worship)
It’s all about attitude…having a good one that is. The Christian faith is a matter of the heart. Learning how to shape our lives inline with God's will leads to a mature faith. We can act like a Christian in our outward appearance, but God clearly wants our actions to match our attitudes (Hosea 6:6; Matthew 23:26;Philippians 2:5-8)

L – Love (evangelism)
Last but certainly not least. Love is the foundation for everything we do. REAL Student Ministries is a group of people who love God and love students. It is our desire that every student who comes to any event or gathering feels accepted, loved, and significant. As we try to grasp the love of God, it is our joy in sharing God’s love to the people around us and the community we live in (Matthew 22:36-39; Ephesians 3:16-19).
