Temple Baptist Life

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.

Salida Christian School Update:

We are thankful for your support of the school. Ed Hinerman was recently added to the Board of Directors as a representative from TBC. We are in need of an additional board member from the church.

Christina Forro and Kelly Donahue have replaced Catrina Leiseit and Ashley Cooper, respectively at Son Shine Inn. Ericka Anderson has volunteered to teach Computers at the elementary school as Danielle York had a schedule change with the Sand Dunes and will not be available the rest of the school year. We are very thankful for the support of Temple Baptist and others that continue to see the school as a mission field.

The parenting magazines were distributed in December and January and will be distributed through May. Any left over parenting magazines being provided to the Salida Pregnancy Center.

Currently, our greatest need is to rebuild the Scholarship Fund. As of December 31st, the Scholarship Fund balance was $1,627.78. Currently, we have children from six elementary families and three preschool families on scholarship. As we look ahead to next year, we will need to raise funds to assist families that desire a Christian education for their children but are unable to pay the full tuition for a variety of reasons. Please continue to pray for all our teachers, children and their families.

New DVD Ministry

Recently, after completing a Spiritual Gifts inventory, Chris McGee came forward offering to provide the skill and time to record and edit DVD’s of our Sunday morning church service. While this service is primarily for those unable to attend church, you may consider sending them to friends or family that live out of our area. Please contact the church office if you would like to receive DVD’s. There is no charge for the DVD’s but you may make a donation if you wish.
