The Baptist Temple Church of Oklahoma City

Thanks for stopping by the Baptist Temple website! I can't tell you how grateful I am that the Lord has called me into the ministry and then to be the pastor of this church, which I have been the pastor of for over 17 years. I love my brothers and sisters and I appreciate them more and more as time marches on.  

I hope you will stop by some Sunday morning to worship the Lord with us. We would love to get to know you. 

May God richly bless you!!

Bro. Joe

Perry Smalts is our wonderful worship leader.  Perry and Laura Beth were married this year! We are so blessed and thankful to have Perry and Robert for leading us in worship on Sunday mornings. 

The Japanese congregation is blessed to have Rev. Stanley Oshiro is a pastor of the Japanese Language mission.  Stanley is fluent in the Japanese language and he graduated from Kubasaki High School of Okinawa, Japan - a US Department of Defense Dependent School inside a US Marine Corp Base in 1978.  The Japanese congregation is near and dear to the people of Baptist Temple and is the only Japanese language congregation within the State of Oklahoma that we are aware of.  This ministry has been going strong for over 11 years and is attended faithfully by the membership.  Aside from their Sunday ministry, the Japanese congregation has a monthly fellowship that is joyful and well attended by Japanese and English speakers alike. If you are interested in learning more about the Japanese ministry please contact Stanley directly or call the church office for more information.  Stanly holds a Bachelor's Degree in Theology from Bible Missionary Institute of Rock Island, Illinois, with additional college level studies through the University of Central Oklahoma.

Judith has been serving in our office for a few years now and we are very appreciative of the work she does!
