What do I do first?

If you have children, then your first stop will be KidzTown. Its Front Entrance is to the Left as you enter the parking lot (also left of Faith’s Main Entrance).

If you don’t have children or plan on attending the service with your children, then enter through the Main Entrance (the entrance on the right as you enter the parking lot) where you’ll find it easy to locate the Worship Center, restrooms, and the Connect, Grow, Engage Boards. These boards offer information about Faith, upcoming events, classes and serving opportunities that you can take with you.

At the conclusion of each worship service, Pastor Mills will invite all visitors to stop by the Pastor's Reception to meet our Sr. Pastor, his wife Stephanie and other staff members.

What does becoming a believer mean?

Life as it was meant to be...

 You were created for a meaningful, personal relationship with God.

    "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind."  This is the first and great commandment.
       - Matthew 22:36-38  

But there is a problem...

    All of us are sinners and our sin separates us from God.
    "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." 
       - Romans 3:23

The punishment for sin is death.

    "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord." 
       - Romans 6:23

God's solution is Jesus...

    Jesus is God in the flesh & He never sinned.
    "In the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...and the Word became flesh and dwelt  among us, and we beheld His glory, the   glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." 
       - John 1:1, 14

Jesus died in our place to pay the penalty for our sins & He rose again.

    "For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit"
       - 1 Peter 3:18

Because of what Jesus did...

    God offers eternal life as a free gift—it is not earned or deserved.
   

    "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."
       - Ephesians 2:8-9

You can receive eternal life by believing in Jesus alone.

    "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." 
       - John 3:16

How can you have life as God intended?

    Understanding that Jesus is God and deserves control of your life, &
    Recognizing that He died in your place so that you could be forgiven,
    You must trust in Jesus Christ as your only hope of heaven.
   

    "Most assuredly I say to you, whoever believes in Me has everlasting life."
       - John 6:47

How do I become a member of Faith?

To Become a member at Faith...

1.  Believe in Jesus Christ – Each person desiring to be a member of Faith will be asked to answer a few basic questions about salvation and write a brief testimony of believing in Jesus.

2.  Be baptized as a believer – As Baptists, we firmly believe that baptism is a symbolic act of obedience. It is a beautiful picture of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. We require that you have been baptized by immersion (under the water) since the time you first believed in Christ.

3.  Complete the membership class – We offer a one-time membership class one Sunday a month, from 11am-3pm. In the class, we share tons of helpful information about our church. We will also share what we expect of you as a member and what you can expect from us as your church. It is taught by our pastors. Lunch and childcare are provided during the class.

4.  Complete a membership meeting – After you have completed the membership class, we ask that you fill out some basic information forms, review the membership book and prayerfully consider becoming a member at Faith. Once you have decided to join, we ask that you schedule a membership meeting with one of our pastors. The meeting can be arranged by calling our church office or e-mailing the pastor you will be meeting. During the meeting, he will review your testimony of belief in Jesus, sign the membership agreement and answer any final questions you may have. It should take 30-45 minutes.

5.  Be presented to the congregation – Once the other steps have been completed, we want to celebrate with you through a brief “commitment time” and welcome you to our church. We will present you to the congregation through a special time at the end of the Sunday Morning Worship Service.
