Youth Ministries
The purpose of the Youth Ministry is to build strong moral character in young members, ages 2 through 19. Youth are facing daily pressures from drugs, crime, peers, and society in general and are in need Christian-oriented programs for support and guidance. Through activities and fellowship, the Youth Ministry serves as an extension of the Senior Pastor, and provides a training ground for tomorrow's ministry leaders.

Christian Education
The major focus of Christ Temple's vision is religious and secular education for children and adults. The church emphasizes the need for its members to be academically prepared for the intellectual demands of society and for jobs that meet their economic needs and those of their families. The Christian Education Ministry programs will help church members and community residents face life in a modern society and share the gospel with others.

Music is an integral part of Christ Temple's worship and holiday celebrations, traditions, and customs. A holistic fellowship juxtaposes the medium of music to sermonizing and teaching.

Counseling, tools, and resources are employed by the Marriage Enrichment Ministry and the Pre-Marital, Marriage and Family Counselors to help couples and families bond together.

Outreach Ministries
Through its Evangelistic Outreach and Sick & Shut-In Visitation Programs, the Outreach Ministries reach and minister to people through prayer and fellowship outside the church edifice. By bringing the Gospel to those whom may not otherwise seek it, the Outreach Ministries provide an opportunity to surrender their lives to Christ.

Helps Ministries

The combined efforts of the Ushers, Greeters, Reflection Ministry, Food Distribution and Weekly Prayer Service programs and ministries provide benevolence, food, and clothing to its saints and community at-large.

Prayer Partners Ministries

Communications Ministries
The Communications Department came about in 1995 as a result of findings from a membership survey. The survey noted the need for a professional system to create and disseminate information about church services and events in a timely fashion. Today, the Communications Ministry is Christ Temple's primary information resource.
