Welcome
We’re a Baptist church that is passionate about “Knowing, Loving and Serving God”… and each other!
All Are Welcome
No matter who you are or where you’ve come from, you are welcome here! We want to show you that God’s love is greater than your past, your present—it’s greater than anything you have ever experienced!
Temple Baptist Church is the only Southern Baptist Church in Salida, CO. Our gatherings are casual and are made up of Bible-based teaching with a blended worship style; all in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Our worship services last approximately one hour and fifteen minutes.
OUR SERVICE SCHEDULE
Join us for a time of uplifting worship, loving fellowship, and Biblical teaching.
Sundays 9:00 am Bible Classes for Children, Youth, & Adults
Sundays 10:30 am Worship Service
Programming for Kids
Our family ministries are of utmost importance to us here at Temple Baptist Church. It’s the desire of our staff and exceptional volunteers to partner with parents to teach children how Jesus Christ is the hero of the entire story of the Bible.
Our Sunday school for kids starts at 9 AM every Sunday. We take security and cleanliness very seriously. If you ever have any questions, our staff members or any of our volunteers would love to assist you.
What You Can Expect
We worship God every week, celebrating through songs, prayer, and being together. Our worship is primarily directed towards the One that we celebrate, the One who is worthy… God and His son Jesus. It is also meant to prepare us to hear His Word spoken to us. Our offering of money is received when you come in or leave by the main entrance in a box.
Be Part of a Church Family
If you are looking for a church where you will grow in your faith, deepen your love for God, and build lasting connections with other believers- we hope you will join us at Temple!
Come visit us this Sunday, in Salida and see if this is where God would have you call home.
Ministries
Come and join us. We would love to get to know you.
Childrens Ministry
9 – 10am
We are excited to greet you and your children and have them join us for Bible-based fun on Sunday mornings. This is a special time for your children to learn about God’s love for them through age appropriate activities. Each week we focus on a portion of the Bible and bring it to life through video, music, and activities. This ultimately connects kids to God’s plan of redemption through Christ as revealed throughout the whole Bible.
10:30am
We welcome you to attend our worship time. During this time, we have Nursery for birth through age 3. Older children are invited to attend Children’s Church. Children attend the adult worship time through the worship music and then are dismissed for children’s church for the remainder of the service.
If you have any questions on where your child should go, the Greeters can direct you and answer your questions.
Womens Ministry
On the third Saturday of each month at 12:00 pm, the ladies meet here at the church for a time of exploration and study of God’s word and also a potluck lunch. It is a time of sharing and deepening relationships with each other. Connecting Life & Faith. Explore the meaningful questions of life, going deeper in their relationship with Jesus Christ and connecting with other women in conversations about things that matter and the opportunity to grow spiritually.
Check with the Temple Church office for details of the study.
Support Our Church
We encourage our members and those who regularly attend Temple Baptist Church to practice Biblical stewardship by giving a portion of their finances back to God as an act of worship and obedience. We believe so wholeheartedly in advancing the gospel of Jesus Christ that we currently give a portion away to strategic ministry partners who are also working to advance the Kingdom of God in Colorado, the country, and the world.
Offering is received through a box inside by the main worship doors.

What we Believe
Our Statement of Faith*
- The Scriptures
The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man.
- God
There is one and only one living and true God. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe.
God the Father: Reigns with providential care over His universe.
God the Son: Christ is the eternal Son of God. In His incarnation as Jesus Christ He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
God the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. He inspired holy men of old to write the Scriptures. Through illumination He enables men to understand truth.
- Man
Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation.
- Salvation
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer.
- God's Purpose of Grace
Election is the gracious purpose of God, according to which He regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies sinners.
- The Church
A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel.
- Baptism and the Lord's Prayer
Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer's faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Saviour, the believer's death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus.
The Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members of the church, through partaking of the bread and the fruit of the vine, memorialize the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His second coming.
- The Lord's Day
The first day of the week is the Lord's Day. It is a Christian institution for regular observance.
- The Kingdom
The Kingdom of God includes both His general sovereignty over the universe and His particular kingship over men who willfully acknowledge Him as King.
- Last Things
God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring the world to its appropriate end. According to His promise, Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly in glory to the earth; the dead will be raised; and Christ will judge all men in righteousness.
- Evangelism and Missions
It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and of every church of the Lord Jesus Christ to endeavor to make disciples of all nations.
- Education
Christianity is the faith of enlightenment and intelligence. In Jesus Christ abide all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
- Stewardship
God is the source of all blessings, temporal and spiritual; all that we have and are we owe to Him.
- Cooperation
Christ's people should, as occasion requires, organize such associations and conventions as may best secure cooperation for the great objects of the Kingdom of God.
