Temple Students exists to grow disciples of Jesus Christ within the context of an age-specific community. We strive to provide solid biblical teaching along with opportunities to grow in authentic relationships. As Kingdom Seekers, we aim to: Worship God, Live by the Bible, Pray Continually, Serve Others, Share Joyfully, Meet Together, and Make Jesus Known. We believe that the Lord calls each of us to be growing in these attributes, and so  all of our events will be for these goals and purposes. Whether you've been following Jesus for years or whether you have questions about the faith and are looking for a welcoming community to plug into, we'd love to meet you!

We had so much fun this past summer with middle and high schoolers on Sunday nights that we've decided to open up D-Nights to 6th-12th grade! Each D-Night will be slightly different, but will all include dinner, so come hungry! Each night's goal is to provide opportunities for students to grow deeper as disciples within their community, as well as build deeper relationships within their individual small groups.

Midweek Gathering is back! Starting September 4th, we will gather in the Worship Center every Wednesday at 6:00 as a church family for worship, teaching from Pastor Keith Whitfield on the book of John, and a time of prayer. At 7:00, adults will head to their small groups, and students will head to the Student Room for their own groups.

This is an activity for the whole family! We're so excited to enjoy getting to know our student families better as we hang out on the water and enjoy food together. The deadline to register for this event is September 1st.

We're headed back to Hematoma Paintball Field on October 19th! Pick-up & drop-off will be in Chocowinity at Hematoma, and the registration fee will cover admission and all equipment. Invite a friend and register before the deadline of October 9th! And girls, despite the name- you are allowed to come as well!!

Middle schoolers, this one is for you!! We'll meet at the church for dinner, visit MacDaddy's in Emerald Isle, and then head back to the church for games, a movie, and snacks galore! Save the date and invite your friends!!

High schoolers, we're locking in! Plan on inviting friends and save the date. We'll meet at the church for dinner, visit Altitude Trampoline Park in Jacksonville, and then head back to the church for games, a movie, and a ton of snacks!

Ladies, this one is for you. We're going to chat with individual small groups about how they want to do this night- some groups may want to go out to eat, while others may want to eat at the church. Depending on what movies are out, we'll head to the theatre or stay in at the church!

We are returning to Camp Vandemere for IN-TENTS, our 2024 Fall Retreat! Save the date for a weekend of spiritual growth within our community. This retreat will be camping-style, but if you absolutely can't fathom the thought of sleeping in a tent for two nights, we have options for ya. We can't wait for this one!
