PASTOR’S NOTE

I want to welcome you to Faith Church. I have the privilege of serving at the Faith Dyer campus. As you read about all that’s going on at Faith Church, it’s my hope and prayer that this church becomes home. We work very hard so that you will feel welcomed, accepted and an important part of our church family. We hope Faith Dyer is a safe place for you to grow and become more like Christ.

We believe God has given you unique gifts and talents. We hope to help you use those gifts to serve others, bless our region and honor God. What’s so exciting about Faith are all the places people can serve and care for others while also growing to be more like Christ. Let us know how we can help you get more connected.
