History of the Church
On March 20, 1858, Dr. William Baker granted and conveyed approximately one acre of ground to build Enon Christian Church for the use and benefit of group that was described as a denomination of Christians know as Disciples or Reformers and their successors. The original trustees consisted of Joseph M. Baker, Robert M. Baker, Edward Mansfield, John R. Marshall, John T. Quarles, and Robert M. Kent.
​
Fast forward to February 4, 1990, Reverend Gertrude E. Smith established Christ Temple Church. The building formerly Enon Christian Church had been unoccupied for 40 plus years and was in need of significant repairs. Pastor Smith was inspired of God to restore this church to its original beauty. Equipped with a few members and several willing volunteers, considerable improvements were made in the 5.5 years she pastored Christ Temple Church.
​
On October 9, 1997, Reverend Diane D. Lewis, daughter of the late Rev. G. E. Smith, became pastor and spiritual leader of this congregation. Being confident of this very thing, “that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ”, Philippines 1:6, this exciting renovated church has prospered. Over these many years, God continues to watch over His word and His work to be performed.
