OUR MISSION

Christ Temple Family Church is a non denominational fellowship of believers focusing upon those who are seeking a new beginning with Christ where the word is preached and taught in a contemporary way so that we can apply it to our lives in this 21st century with emphasis placed upon benevolence to others and building family relationships.

OUR PASTOR

Cornell Nichols, III (Pastor Nick) hails from St. Louis, MO by way of Baltimore, MD. Nick graduated from Missouri University of Science & Technology where he received a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering Management. His call for preaching began his senior year in high school when he was asked by Sr. Pastor Bishop Shannon to bring the morning “layperson” message on Youth Sunday, which paved the way for other youth in the church to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ for many more youth Sundays to come.

After college, Nick moved to the Kansas City area to work in the tech industry, while also developing a career in stand up comedy. While working and living in the Kansas City area, dedicated to his calling, he slowly began to transition back to St. Louis to preach at Christ Temple Family Church. In March 2021, He joined the CTFC Staff. In April 2022, he was ordained. On November 10, 2023, he officially became the Lead Pastor of CTFC.

Nick is a charter member of the Gamma Gamma Gamma chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. located at Missouri University of Science & Technology and lives in St. Louis with his wife Brenea and daughter Ava.
