Ralph J. Sander Jr.

I am 80 years old and I was saved when I was 5 years old my brother Ralph J Sanders senior, while listening to him on the radio preach and at that time he had a little girl who always sang a song called I am going to a city where the Roses Never Fade!! I will never forget the day that Jesus came into my life I was listening to the radio program and tears were streaming down my face and my mom said what is the matter with you and I said I don't know but listen to this guy!! Jesus has been so...

I attended CT as a young child and as a teenager, joined the Sunday evening choir until I graduated HS. Then Pastor Sanders married my husband and I in 1971. I really enjoyed my time there.

I actually attended Ralph's father's church at the Moore Theatre in Seattle, as a little girl! I was Pentecostal, and loved those services and the messages that were preached! Then, in my 20s, I attended Christian Temple while Ralph and Darlene were there, and was fed spiritually, and really was blessed with the good music! I loved Darlene's music and, over the many years since, I have continued to keep them in my prayers, although I lost complete contact with them. I continued to lift...

Ralph, Darlene and Christian Temple played a vital role in our lives. Our lives are eternally blessed because they were in it.

Darlene, Debbie, Sandy, just heard of Ralph's passing yesterday from my ex-wife, Carolyn who was told by Andre and Sandra Crouch who she saw at the airport as they boarded a plane. Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences. I remember fondly the great times we had at Christian Temple and the fellowship we had with you and Ralph, Dorrie and Warren, and your sister and her husband. Its hard to believe that has been over 40 years ago! My girls, Lisa, Kim and Donna, are now in their...

Dear Darlene, Jim and I were so sorry to learn of Pastor Ralph's passing. I was drawn to Christian Temple in the mid-60's while attending S.P.C (at that time) and especially loved the music on Sunday nights. C.T. was our home church for so many years. Pastor Ralph married us and dedicated our sons Jeff and Joel as babies. All our friends were from C.T. You and Pastor Ralph welcomed us all, and through your ministry, led so many people to the Lord through music and the Word. Pastor Ralph...

Darlene, Debbie and Sandy...
No one will ever replace your wonderful Husband and Father. He was one of a kind. We never will forget him. We'll just adjust to being without him until we meet again. Our sweet memories of him will help fill those empty moments. He adored the three of you and you will always have that to cherish. I'm grateful to know the Sander family. I'm always here for a hug.
