Pastor Ted Fielland
Our beautiful Historic Chapel was built in 1921, as a sales office for the Temple. Terrace Estates development. When the developers and the town went bankrupt in 1928-29, the building was abandoned. In the middle of the 1930’s, the people of Temple Terrace, who were still recovering from the Great Depression, founded the Temple Terrace Community Church School for children and adults to provide a Christian education. In 1938, a young Billy Graham, then a student at Florida Bible Institute, was one of the adult Bible study leaders. He went on to greater things, but he got his start here. The school became the first church founded in Temple Terrace. It was also a community gathering place.
Today, we remain the stewards of the oldest building in Temple Terrace meant for humans. We are a traditional Bible based community fellowship open to all. We meet Sundays at 11:00 A.M., COME!
In Christ’s Love,
Pastor Ted
