  • How long does College Gathering last?

    The College Gathering runs about 1 hour.

"I love all the ways First Temple has to get people plugged in! When I was having trouble finding a church, God called me to go to First Temple and serve!"

Precious Anselm

"First Temple College Ministry really entered my life with perfect timing. I needed to dive back into Christ, and everyone from the students to Evan welcomed me with open arms and made me feel like I had a family."

Logan Pool

"After moving to Belton/Temple I knew I needed to find a church to plug into. At First Temple, I found community, a space for spiritual growth, and a place to call home."
