Sanctuary

Mission Statement:

A family of Christ, welcoming all, worshiping God, growing in the Spirit and joyously serving others.

Vision Statement:

Solely by the grace of God, we desire and declare ourselves to be an inclusive church, where all persons are welcome to come, to inquire and become part of the Faith Family in response to God’s urging. We welcome all persons into membership regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, marital status, social or economic status, physical or mental challenge. We acknowledge that each of us is part of Christ’s Body, the Church, not by the merit of our lives, but wholly by the grace and mercy of God revealed in Jesus Christ.

Faith Presbyterian Church is special to me because…

“I see people of faith coming together on our journey into the uncertain future, trusting in a God of love.”

     “…of the people who express love, kindness and friendship.”

          “It is very friendly and caring.”

               “…kindness of the people, love expressed and lots of friendliness.”

VISITORS are ALWAYS WELCOME at all Faith Presbyterian services and events! It would be a joy to have you with us in worship. We hope that our services will bless you as much as you will bless us with your attendance. Let us become acquainted with you in the courtyard after Sunday worship. If you are a first-time visitor, please stop by the visitor booth and receive a gift from our church.

Our annual Trunk or Treat event is happening Saturday, October 27th in the Faith Presbyterian Church parking lot. This is always a fun event for everyone involved!

We can help supply the decorations and candy if you like. If you are not able to help during the event, donations of candy would be appreciated!

KOINONIA TIME

Continuing each Wednesday evening we’ll be gathering from 6-7:30 PM for Koinonia Time as a church family. Koinonia is a Greek word that occurs 20 times in the Bible and means “fellowship, sharing in common, communion.” The first occurrence of Koinonia is in Acts 2:42, “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and in the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” Christian fellowship is a key aspect of the Christian life. As believers in Christ, we have the special calling and privilege to come together in love, faith, and encouragement. We glorify God singing some song, share in a time of study and discussion, and conclude in praying together.

The series of studies are exciting, relevant and useful in our walks with the Lord. As we head toward Thanksgiving and lots of extras, food and otherwise, The next 6 weeks are on Rick Warren’s The Daniel Plan: 40 Days to a Healthier Life where Faith, Food, Fitness, Focus, and Friends are featured

           Upcoming Weeks
17 Oct: Faith: Nurturing Your Soul
24 Oct: Food: Enjoying God’s Abundance

KOINONIA KIDS

Children will have their own lesson on Wednesday nights during our new Koinonia program. The children will participate in the meal and music time with everyone else before they are dismissed to their lesson, which will be around 45 minutes. Please contact Sarah Harvey if you have any questions or would like to help.
