The Auction is the largest fundraiser for the temple. It is held in the spring. Donations and advertisements are collected from community businesses and auctioned off. An online auction precedes the live auction by 4 weeks. The live auction is on a Saturday night and is both a social and fundraising event.

Smaller social events are held during the year that also raise some money. One is a progressive dinner. Temple members go to host homes for appetizers, dinner and then dessert is at the temple with some live music.

A wine tasting event has also been planned as a small fundraiser/social event.
