History - 2000 - Present

On Sabbath, January 8, 2000, Pastor Alex Horton was installed as the Pastor of City Temple Seventh-day Adventist Church. During his tenure, Pastor Horton restarted a radio ministry around August, 2002, broadcasting every Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. on KHVN Heaven 97. In November, 2007, a listener was baptized from this ministry.

City Temple also birthed a new church, Agape Fellowship which started as a company June 2004, and as of 2007, was voted as an official church of the Southwest Region Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Chaplain Tyrone Boyd was most influential as the pastoral overseer of the church, donating full-time service to this effort.

Pastor Horton taught the church how to have fun, and started an annual Church Retreat at Lone Star Camp. The church members looked forward to a spiritual refreshing with programs that took place from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon.

Pastor Horton also focused on the youth by reintroducing Associate Pastors to the church in the persons of Pastor Patrick Jacques and Pastor Kevin Bruce. Pastor Jacques started a Sycamore Cafe program for young adults that was continued by Pastor Kevin Bruce.

On December 8, 2007, Pastor Horton preached his farewell sermon after accepting a call to the South Central Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, to a church in Birmingham, AL. Head Elder, Kenneth Medlock, for the third time picked up the reigns as church administrator.

On December 22, 2007, the Conference announced the appointment of an interim Pastor, Charles Sanders, who currently serves as Stewardship, Sabbath School, and Children's Ministries Director. Pastor Sanders most prominent gift to the church was the ability to express a genuine love for God's people - he fed and "tended" the sheep.

On July 31, 2008, the Conference Executive Committee voted Pastor Eddie Polite from St. Louis, Missouri, as the next pastor of the City Temple Church, effective September 1, 2008. Pastor Polite was officially installed as Senior Pastor on October 4, 2008. Pastor Charles Sanders will remain at the church as Associate Pastor.
