Lead Pastor

Pastor Kim Bearden

Temple Baptist in Salida, Colorado has expanded its pastoral leadership by appointing Dr. Kim Bearden as their new interim Pastor.



Kim’s purpose in life is to honor the Lord in his marriage to his wife Maria Fe, through service to the local church, his city, and the world as God opens doors. He has devoted his life to serving the Lord in pastoral ministry in Oklahoma, Colorado and Wyoming and in theological education to twenty-six third world countries. His spiritual gifts of preaching, teaching, leadership, and evangelism will help him excel as a pastor in Salida. His vision is to “make disciples” as the Lord commands.
