Our Mission
“To know the Lord Jesus personally, to grow in Him spiritually, and to make Him known globally.”
Our Vision
We see a vibrant fellowship of believers who understand, embrace, and promote the grace of God found in Jesus Christ.
We see our church as a safe haven of uncompromised Gospel truth shared in uncommon love to reach the lost in a fallen world.
We see our members and attendees continuing to grow in spiritual maturity, ministering to one another in biblical community, serving in the area of their spiritual giftedness, and helping one another to make more disciples. We see our church established in the disciplines of God’s Word, prayer, fellowship and witnessing, mutual accountability, and faithfulness to the Lord.
We see our members and attendees praying for each other and our church’s activities. We see Spirit empowered prayer as a fundamental element in the life of our families and the source of power, guidance, and direction in all that we do.
We see the presence of the Holy Spirit continually promoting love and unity in all we do, empowering leaders for ministry, and bringing transforming power to the life of each individual.
We see the establishment of Christ-Centered homes where marriages and families are nurtured in love and respect, where children receive training and instruction in the Lord, and where the gospel light shines so that the community will see God at work.
We see church leaders who demonstrate biblical qualifications of character, faithfulness, and giftedness for their respective positions, serving willingly, eagerly and as examples to the body of Christ. We see church leaders participating in leadership training to continually nurture the gifts given to them by God.
We see a church that encourages involvement in small groups with importance and emphasis on mentorship that is designed to nurture spiritual and sequential growth and discipleship sensitive to the needs of individuals and families.
We see a worship service that expresses genuine worship and praise to God using contemporary and traditional music as well as other art forms, that proclaims the truth of his written Word, and that incorporates appropriate evangelism that relates to outsiders in a welcoming environment.
We see our body incorporating both spontaneous and strategic ways of doing evangelism, remembering that the gospel will never change, but that our ways of presenting it will shift in response to the needs of those we seek to reach.
We see the Community Cupboard growing into its own facility contiguous to our present facility, with a highly motivated volunteer staff from Faith as well as volunteers from within the community.
As a response to the love of God for us expressed in the cross of Christ, we see our fellowship embracing the First and Greatest Commandment, to love the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind, and the Second, to love our neighbor as ourselves and the Great Commission, to make disciples of all nations. We see our youth and adults empowered to engage in short-term missions and, as God calls, career missions. We see our body supporting a wide variety of domestic and foreign missionary enterprises through prayer, encouragement, and financial support.
We expect that as our fellowship grows in number that we may consider the following as led by the Holy Spirit: (1) build a larger worship center along with expanded facilities for Christian Education, (2) begin multiple services and multiple hours for Sunday School, or (3) plant churches in surrounding communities.
