METHODIST TEMPLE Church Staff

Paul Rogers – Pastor

Pastor Paul has been serving in the United Methodist since 1981, serving as a student pastor while he and Teresa were attending Taylor University. Pastor Paul has passions for preaching, teaching and engaging the hurting of this world. Pastor Paul believes that God has a significant plan for each person’s life. Walking our journey with Jesus helps us to find out what it is, become equipped for it, and to be empowered to live out that plan, that destiny. Be encouraged for Ephesians 2:10 declares, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
