When the school was founded in the 1968, the school's president said that he hoped parents would enroll because public schools taught evolution and had "communistic influences" in social studies texts.[1]

Some historians have argued that Temple Christian was part of the segregation academy movement. In 1972, the churches pastor argued that school segregation was immoral since the Bible taught that black and white people should remain separated. When Dayton public schools were desegregated in the late 1970s, the school's enrollment nearly doubled.[2]

Temple Christian School won the National Association of Christian Athletes (NACA) Division II Soccer Championship three years in a row - 1982, 1983 and 1984.[3]
