Our Purpose
Kingdom Living Temple leadership team and members are called to follow the edicts of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Those edicts are how we work to share the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world in general and in our community specially. We are called to be good stewards of the earth and to seek justice in every way that we can.
Lastly, principally we are called to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, mind, soul and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. We believe in the Godly vision and the actualization of a better life, better world and better creation. For we walk by faith and not by sight. But we also know that faith without works is dead. So we are an activist church.
Eight Fold Ministries
1. Evangelism for Life: Spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ to every living creature, teaching people spiritual and moral values that are extremely necessary in a world filled with gun violence, mass shootings and continuous warfare.
2. Abundant Living: We work with people to release themselves of excessive debts and to create and increase assets so that the words of Jesus may become a daily truth in theirs and their families lives. Jesus said I come that you might not only have life but have life more Abundantly.
3. Family Living: It is very important that families work together and stay together. Today families are becoming more and more headed by single-family homes. Our program assists men, women and children to reach their most utmost potential. So that they may become everything that God’s love wants them to be.
4. Healthy Living: God says that our bodies are our living temple. Just as we would keep our home, church and business in good shape and clean, we too must ensure that we are doing all of the things to keep our bodies clean and free of disease, sickness and ailments. We do this by partnering with health practice to educate and teach people
5. Kingdom Temple Living: To spread the message of Jesus Christ and our church mission and ministries by using social media, software, online communication and other internet platforms to expand the church beyond the walls.
6. Market Life; Is the place where our online store provides preaching, teaching, and studying resources for clergy and laity. We also provide hats, t-shirts etc as thank you gifts to our donors.
7. Food for Life: We prepare Healthy food for consumption by our members. We also provide produce and other healthy food to the public as well as the homeless. We also share recipes and tips for healthy eating and diets.
8. Praise and worship Life: Music, songs, and dance are vital to the human experience. It is also a way that we both praise and worship God. This is also how we spread the gospel, teach, and inspire people.
