In Sept. 1974, Rev. Joseph L. Evans was selected and chosen as pastor.  Rev. Evans was a strong, courageous, firm leader, who believed in moving forward with God as his guide.  His motto, " Let's Go Forward."   He was a sincere dedicated man of God, rooted and grounded in God's word.  A faithful shepherd for the sheep (Christian Temple), an outstanding teacher, especially the old testament, of the word of God.   

Rev. Evans served diligently until October 10, 2002, when he retired and appointed our present pastor, Rev. George Howse to succeed him.
