Who We Are
We are a church committed to helping people know God, grow in His Word, and live out their faith every day. At Southland Baptist Temple, everything we do is centered on the truth of the Bible and the message of Jesus Christ.
We are an Independent Baptist Church, standing firmly on the authority of Scripture and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our desire is to point people to Him and help them grow in a real, everyday relationship with God.
History
Our Story
Organized December 13, 1953
In late August, 1953, a young, enthusiastic evangelist by the name of Harold Council felt led of God to construct a brush arbor at the corner of Yarbro Lane and Hovekamp Road. This would be the beginning of one of the nation's finest Bible-believing churches.
This brush arbor meeting was richly blessed of God. The people came, souls were saved, and Christians were strengthened and inspired. This meeting became the talk of the town. The Floral Hall building was rented and the revival continued. The crowds grew larger and many souls continued to be saved.
