Welcome to Life at Temple Baptist Church
At Temple Baptist Church in Salida, Colorado, we are interested in life. Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” Life is what Jesus is all about. Temple Baptist Church is all about life, life here on earth and eternal life in heaven. We invite you to join us in life.
Spotlight on Salida Christian School
Salida Christian School would like to take this opportunity to thank the church for its generous donation of $15,000.00 and its donation of assistance for the school’s utilities. It is only with Temple Baptist’s support that the school can continue in its mission to spread the gospel through the ministry of a Christian education. The school has had a number of decisions for Christ as a result the school’s ministry. Salida Christian School is the only Christian school in Salida. It is the only school in Salida where young people are taught that the Bible is the inerrant word of God and where a tried and tested curriculum for academic success is followed.
Temple Baptist and Salida Christian School are teaming up to provide scholarships for the upcoming school year and for a limited number of students this semester if practical. These scholarships are an opportunity for Temple Baptist to reach out to the community to provide the precious gift of a Christian education. There are parents in this community that have the desire and need for a Christian education or their children, but the cost of that education is out of reach. These are the parents and children that Temple Baptist can reach with these scholarships. We need a volunteer from the church to join a school board member and the Pastor (or someone designating by the pastor) to be on the team that will screen scholarship applications. Criteria for the scholarships will be economic need and academic suitability.
SCS will be having a Skills Night Thursday, February 25 at 6:00 pm for the Pre-K—2nd grade. Everyone is welcome to attend and see what our children can do.
