The church began as a mission in the summer of 1951 in Detroit, Michigan in a lodge hall by our founder Pastor J.D. Young. The first church building was purchased on November 18, 1952 in Detroit, Michigan.
On April 3, 1968 land was purchased in a little farm town called "Roseville" and the building had begun. On January 26, 1969 the first services were held at the new "Temple Baptist Church of Roseville". In June 1981, Pastor Young semi-retired and began preaching in retirement homes. Then, Associate Pastor John T. Veal took over as senior Pastor. On February 9, 2003 Pastor Harvey Lee (who has been a member for many years) was licensed and became an Associate Pastor. Lee became the Senior Pastor in 2013. November 15, 2021 Pastor Lee stepped down from the position and Pastor John Sanders became the Senior Pastor with his wife Vicki Sanders. |
Pastor John Sanders is our Senior Pastor. He and his wife Vicki Sanders were members about 12 years ago and John served as Music Director and Song Leader. He was ordained and licensed in the Ministry of the Gospel. During this time, he continued preaching and served as Music director at multiple churches. Brother John was asked and voted by Temple Baptist to become Assistant Pastor and rejoined the church on September 9, 2018. Sister Vicki Sanders helps teach in the Children's Sunday School and Junior Church. In January 2020 the Church voted Pastor Sanders as Associate Pastor for Temple Baptist, also serving as the Sunday School Superintendent.

In 1981, after Pastor Young retired, John T. Veal took over as senior Pastor. He led the church as Senior Pastor for several decades in which the church saw growth in both attendance, campus expansion and improvements. He is now retired and retains the title of Pastor Emeritus.
Sister Mary has played both the organ and piano for decades, has taught Sunday school classes and was the financial secretary for many years. |
In 1951, Pastor J.D. Young and his wife Peggy started the church under the name of Fundamental Baptist Church. He spearheaded the start and oversaw the growth of the church, including the construction of the current building in 1969. Once complete, the church was then named Temple Baptist Church. Upon retirement in 1981, he obtained the title of Pastor Emeritus.
Sister Peggy taught Sunday school classes for many years. Both have since gone on to be with the Lord. |
