Our purpose
Why we exist
Four commitments shape everything we do at Holy Temple — in the sanctuary, in our ministries and across Bakersfield.
Demonstrate
God’s love. Outreach, care and our annual Community Resource Fair meet real needs across Bakersfield.
Communicate
God’s Word. Bible teaching from the pulpit and online, wherever you are.
Educate
God’s people. Sunday School at 9:00 AM and Bible study that grow believers in faith and practice.
