The transition from youth to young adult is a challenging time. This is also a time where many young adult’s involvement in the Church decreases as they are pulled in many directions by the world. The College and Careers Ministry was established to ease that transition by helping to ground our young adults in Biblical principles and equip them to head into adulthood armed with the full armor of God. The Group is open to anyone age 18-26 and is a mix of Bible study, life skills, fellowship, and team building.
Women's Prison Ministry
For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’
Matthew 25: 35-40
The Women’s Prison Ministry strives to provide spiritual guidance to those that oppose themselves; by addressing the whole person's being, especially the spiritual part of themselves. Over the years many women have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior, which is the desired outcome of the ministry.
The services with the women can vary. There is often praise and worship along with a word from the Lord. Testimonies are given which coincide with life lessons. There are two holidays celebrated, Mother’s Day and Christmas. It is such a glorious time in the Lord. With the anointed singing and preaching, it is a heaven-like atmosphere. The women are spiritually moved and so are the officers. Those times are so special, we have a captivated audience for Christ.

GT Youth
Youth in grades 7th-12th are invited to join us in leading youth for God in the Florence, SC area. GT Youth meets every Wednesday from 7 PM - 8 PM at the Faith Force student building in front of the church. We see a generation who is gradually pulling away from God and losing who they were created to be. This ministry is designed to connect students with God, each other, and their purpose.

Music Ministry
The Music Ministry Team at Gospel Temple is vibrant and active. We understand our purpose is to exalt the name of Jesus and to set the atmosphere for the Spirit of God to move mightily so the preached word is delivered to fertile hearts. Being a part of the Music Ministry Team is a calling for all involved and includes singers, musicians, media, lighting, and sound. We all make up the Music Ministry Team and desire to fulfill Colossians 3:16-17, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."
