Community of Christ Temple in Independence, Missouri

The temple shall be dedicated to the pursuit of peace...a place in which the essential meaning of the Restoration as healing and redeeming agent, is given new life and understanding, inspired by the life and witness of the Redeemer of the world..--Doctrine and Covenants 156:5a, e

You are not here by chance but by God's choosing
You are uniquely created--one of a kind
You lack nothing that His grace cannot supply
You are created to be a living art
Strengthened by His power
Living out God's purpose for your life
Serving your world with love.
