Our Purpose
Our Purpose
The purpose of the church is summed up in the commission Christ gave His disciples just before He ascended to Heaven: “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matt 28:18–20)
This last command of Christ should be our highest priority; every facet of church activity should in some way relate to this, the purpose of the church. Acts 5:42 records that the Jerusalem church was indeed fulfilling this purpose: “And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.” This young church was constantly engaged in making the Gospel known to the world.
As a church, our mission is to reach the world with the Gospel of Christ. We want to utilize every available biblical means, and we want to disciple and train every member to participate in accomplishing our church’s purpose.
Our Beginning
In 1960 a small group of families formed what is now Faith Baptist Church. Faith has grown into a church of many families gathering together to worship our Lord and Savior for more than 50 years. Biblical principles lay the foundations at Faith and remain the focus throughout all of our worship services. Sound Biblical teaching and preaching, God-honoring music and Christian fellowship are the backbone of Faith. We would love for you to join us.
