The Christian Temple was founded by Rev. Loyd and Edna Hostetler which started their vision of a community based, Christ centered church in an old elementary school name Big Bend School. Rev. Lloyd pastored the Christian Temple Church for 16 years. It was there that a new facility was planned and our forefathers of Christian Temple began the building process by purchasing the ground across the street from their current location. The new building was dedicated in 1967 with a renewed vision for the future.

The vision of the house has been under Rev. Loyd Hostetler's son Pastor Larry Hostetler since 1979.

Now that Christian Temple is facing its 40th anniversary that vision thrives. We are growing in Spirit and in space, making avenues for upcoming generations of God's people to be a part of the history of Christian Temple.
