hello. It’s been a long, cold winter and like you, I look forward to a much anticipated summer season. I also look forward to celebrating a more laid back schedule at Faith Church. Hopefully this will give all of us an opportunity to relax and spend more time with our friends and family. It’s been my experience that when I slow down, I am able to better hear what the Lord is saying to me. To that end, I’m excited to invite you to join us for our summer sermon series. We will be looking at how our lives are changed by allowing the Holy Spirit to develop His fruit in our lives. So stand by for more info regarding this powerful series. Pastor Bob

The Big
Whether you’ve been attending Faith Church for a long time or you are a first time visitor, @faith is here to help! Being a part of this church family is a partnership in growth, so we encourage you to be involved in 3 ways:
WORSHIP ON THE WEEKENDS Gather with others to listen to a message from God’s Word, sing, pray, and lift up the name of Jesus. Attend a service at one of our campuses. Kids (infant-5th grade) are invited to Treasureland, our children’s ministry, where they can worship Jesus in a safe environment at their level. Don’t miss the opportunity to gather with others and worship each week. Invite a friend!
CONNECT IN COMMUNITY Being a follower of Jesus was never meant to be done alone. Sole-ranger Christianity usually means discouragement and failure. God has provided a better way-Biblical community. Community keeps us encouraged, helps us build meaningful friendships, and most importantly, helps us grow as Christians. This may be through a Mini-Church, Bible study, or Serving Team. No matter what your age, God does not intend for you to walk through life alone. Be real. Be known.
SERVE OTHERS Join a weekend Serving Team at one of our campuses. Serve in your neighborhood or around the world! God has gifted each of us to do something special. Discover the joy of serving.
