Serving Christ Together
View the Ministry Handbook
The Lord has given all of His children a place of service. Our homes and our workplaces provide for us this God-given opportunity to serve as Christians in a Christ-like manner. Every day and in every place in which we live, each believer is to be wholeheartedly engaged in the ministry of the Lord. Think of the impact we can have on our community for Christ if we gather the Christian influence of our church in this way!
Our ministry is not to be limited to a day of the week or a certain location, any more than worship is to be limited to the days we attend church, or our witnessing limited to a time of organized visitation. To restrict the ministry of the Lord in such a way is to restrict the Christian life.
Our involvement in serving the Lord ought to come from our gratitude for all the Lord has done and continues to do for us. Our ministry to the Lord comes from the heart; it is not created or sustained by external pressure. It is a willing service that brings a deep joy and great satisfaction.
When we organize ministry opportunities and train people for more effective service, we do it to extend the Lord’s work. Specific ministries allow us to care for people, to give attention to areas of the Lord’s work that tend to be neglected or that need special emphasis and provide a measure of personal accountability. Although there is but one goal in ministry, the glory of God; there are many elements.
What are you willing to do in your ministry to the Lord?
Devotedly yours,
Pastor Clarence Sexton

Ministries to Our Members
Deacons Ministry
The Bible teaches there are two offices in the local church: the pastor and the deacon. At Temple Baptist Church, the faithful men who serve as deacons stand with our Pastor as he, under the headship of Christ, leads this church. In accordance to biblical teaching, deacons must meet specific qualifications and proved themselves to be faithful, Spirit-filled men. Deacons serve on a rotating basis to help the Pastor care for fellow church members in a variety of ministries, provide leadership, offer advice and counsel to the Pastor, and to introduce new believers and members into the fellowship of the church.
Ushers Ministry
The faithful men who serve as ushers are eager to greet and assist visitors and members in finding a seat, locating loved ones, and many other needs. Ushers not only provide an important service to the congregation, but also assist the Pastor in a number of ways before, during, and after the service.
Greeters Ministry
A friendly hand shake and a warm smile greet visitors and members before each meeting of the church. Greeters also offer assistance in finding the nursery and appropriate Sunday School classes, and provide helpful information to those who are visiting with us for the first time.
Section Ministry
Greeters and hosts serve each seating section of the Auditorium, welcoming visitors and encouraging fellowship among those who regularly sit in their section. Members in each section pray for and encourage one another with phone calls, postcards, and visits. Many section members commit to bring a family during the summer Christian Home Crusade and participate in house-to-house evangelism campaigns. Section fellowships are regularly held after the Sunday evening services during the summer and other times during the year.
Parking Attendants Ministry
Numbers of cars and buses move in and out of the Temple Baptist Church campus before and after each worship service. Parking attendants are in place before and after each service to help people find a parking place and to aid traffic flow as people leave the campus.
Nursery Ministry
Parents with children four years of age and under are encouraged to take advantage of the nursery and preschool. Our preschool ministry is staffed with caring workers who are trained to work with each age group. Beautiful nursery facilities are provided along with a pager system to alert parents in the event they are needed to attend to their children. In addition to receiving the careful attention of our workers, children will enjoy singing Bible songs and learning exciting Bible stories.
Newborn Ministry
A child is a gift from God and with that gift comes great parental responsibility. To help parents of newborns, our preschool workers provide assistance through visitation, prayer, and hospitality. The parents of each newborn receive a beautiful welcome basket filled with helpful gifts and a copy of Pastor Sexton’s book, Beginning with God. Parents also benefit from receiving meals prepared and delivered by caring friends. Our trained nursery workers will explain policies and procedures to reassure concerned parents and provide peace of mind. New parents also receive a copy of Pastor Sexton’s booklet, What It Means to Give A Child To God.
Sunday School Ministry
The greatest asset to any church is the uninterrupted preaching and teaching of the Word of God. The Sunday School exists to equip God’s people to reach others for Christ and to teach them God’s Word. Classes are offered for all ages and backgrounds.
Children’s Ministry
The children’s ministry is designed to help parents as they strive to bring up their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Bible-teaching Sunday school classes, children’s choirs, children’s prayer meetings, Bible memory programs, summer camps, special outings and activities, and much more are planned to help children grow in their Christian lives to become the men and women God desires them to be.
Youth Ministry
The Youth Ministry exists to help mom and dad during the all-important teen years. A trained and committed married couple sponsors each grade level. Young people need more than entertainment; they need to be challenged to find their place in God’s will, wholeheartedly investing their lives in becoming true followers of Christ.
Faithful Men Ministry
The Faithful Men’s Ministry is a ministry to encourage men to faithfully follow Christ and lead their homes in serving the Lord. Fellowships and ministry activities are planned especially for men. The highlight of the year is the Faithful Men’s Revival held each January.
Galilean Ladies Ministry
Just as there were certain women of Galilee who ministered to our Lord’s needs when He was her on earth, so ladies are encouraged to follow and serve Christ and to influence other women to be faithful wives and mothers. Ladies participate in soul winning and visitation and many other church ministries.
Widows Ministry
Widows at the Temple Baptist Church are cared for in a variety of ways and are encouraged to serve the Lord with their lives. A monthly luncheon is served at a church member’s home where friends have an opportunity to fellowship with each other, share prayer requests, pray together, and spend time in God’s Word. The Pastor and church family greatly benefit from the wisdom and prayers of these godly saints. Daily needs are met through the efforts of the deacons and many church members who desire to help our widows with household chores, errands, and more.
Hospital Visitation
Each day our pastoral staff, deacons, and other members of the Temple Baptist Church visit the sick in local hospitals. Those who are ill receive comfort and strength through the reading of God’s Word and prayer as caring members sit at their bedside to encourage them and their families. Because recovering from an illness or recent hospital stay can be lengthy and trying, those recovering at home continue to receive visits. We encourage our members to call the Prayer Line, 938-PRAY, or go to www.templebaptistchurch.com for daily updates and prayer listings.
Bereavement Ministry
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." When death separates us from those we love, we grieve. The bereavement ministry exists to provide comfort and encouragement to families through visitation, prayer, and funeral assistance. Our ladies stand ready to prepare and deliver meals to families during those difficult days.
Stewardship Ministry
God’s has designed and commanded that His work be supported by the tithes and offerings of His people. Every Christian should practice tithing as a Bible conviction. Listed below are various opportunities to support the work of the local church through giving.
Paying the tithe – Scripture tell us that the tithe is ten percent of our income. Tithing is not making a gift to God’s work, it is simply obeying the clearing teaching of the Bible to give to God what belongs to Him.
Gifts and offerings – After paying the tithe, there is more that we can do to further the work of the church.
Giving to the building fund – An offering above the tithe given to retire the debt on the church auditorium and to provide funds for the next phase of construction on the auditorium.
Missionary Giving – An offering above the tithe given to support the work of our world mission. Temple Baptist Church currently supports over two hundred missionaries and church planters throughout the world.
Greater Knoxville Children’s Ministry - An offering to support the outreach ministry of Temple Baptist Church to children and families in the greater Knoxville area. Every week our children’s workers minister to some two thousand families.
Temple Baptist Academy – An offering to support Christian education for children four years of age through twelfth grade. Many men have committed to give to Temple Baptist Academy and pray for the students and faculty each day.
The Crown College - An offering to support the work of The Crown College. Many of the ladies in our church support Crown College on a weekly basis with a gift and commit to pray for the college on a daily basis.
Buildings and Grounds Ministry
Our members have the opportunity to maintain and care for the buildings and grounds that the Lord has provided to us. Anyone with a mind to work is welcome to take part in this ministry.
Intercessory Prayer Ministry
A New Testament church is a praying church. Scripture teaches that God hears and answers prayer, and we encourage all members to give themselves to prayer.
Prayer Meeting
A church-wide prayer meeting is held each Monday evening at 6:00 p.m. in the Curtis Hutson Chapel. During this hour, we come together to “watch and pray.” Prayer is offered for the needs of our church family, our pastor and workers, and the work of world evangelism.
Prayer Line
You may call our prayer line (865.938.PRAY) for updates on members who are in the hospitals, and to hear the prayer requests submitted by our church family.

Music Ministry
Music is an important part of the ministry of the church. We believe music is an offering of praise to God and an encouragement and ministry to believers. At Temple Baptist Church, you will find an emphasis on Christ-honoring music that teaches doctrinal truths and glorifies God.
