It was the summer of 1937. On a vacant lot on the outskirts of town, a tent meeting was nearly bursting at the seams. 2 young preachers had organized the effort, and the spiritual hunger of the crowds was so great that often the whole front of the tent was filled by people who came forward to receive Christ. That summer Christians in and around the Sarnia area were revived in their faith, families were united in Christ, and many people trusted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. ​
​Out of this exciting time, Temple Baptist Church emerged. Almost 85 years later the legacy continues.
Things have changed culturally but we continue to strive to be a humble presence in the midst of this beautiful city. We want to be known as a church that is full of love, faith and hope.
​The story of Temple Baptist Church isn't our story, although many of us have been a part of it. It's HIS story, and God is still writing on the hearts of the people who have called this church their home.
