We are excited to have you share with us on TempleFlorence.org. We invite you to come and experience worship with us.  Fulfilling Kingdom Mandate is our goal as we want to clearly communicate a message of the hope that we have in Jesus Christ.  This hope is not found in religion or anything that we can see, but only in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe that the Bible is the Word of God and contains one harmonious and sufficiently complete system of doctrine. We believe in the full inspiration of the Word of God. We hold the Word of God to be the only authority in all matters and assert that no doctrine can be true or essential if it does not find a place in His Word.  We look forward to seeing you. Blessings on you.
