English as a Second Language
ESL is a community mission outreach teaching conversational English to adult, foreign born Temple residents. Through ESL, we develop relationships and trust by meeting people's need to better communicate in English with their children's teachers, with bosses and co-workers, with merchants, etc. Helping people meet this need opens the door for effective communication through spiritual matters and provides us with the opportunity to demonstrate Christ's live through examples and personal witnessing. Enrollment is continuous through each semester. Four levels of classes are held each Wednesday from 6:00 to 7:10 pm, starting in September through December and January through April.

Opportunities for Service:
