The future of Faith Baptist Church is exciting! God continues to send us people who are joining with us in our vision of ‘Knowing Christ and making Him known through reaching, teaching, growing and going’. Faith Moving Forward is our three-part challenge over the next two years that will position us to be faithful to God’s direction and good stewards of His continual blessings.
A renewed passion for knowing Christ (Colossians 1:9-10 ; Hebrews 10:25)
- Faithfully attend and participate in a weekly Bible Study
- Develop a daily time alone with God that includes Scripture reading and prayer
A focused strategy to reach Jefferson County and beyond with the gospel of Christ. (Matthew 28:18-20)
- Strategic saturation of local neighborhoods in preparation of Easter, VBS, and Christmas capitalizing on seasons of openness to the gospel.
- Ongoing training in personal evangelism and the creation of opportunities for personal evangelism to take place such as Block Parties, Community Service/Mission projects, and weekly visitation and outreach.
- A comprehensive Missions strategy based on Acts 1:8. Trips/projects tentatively scheduled for Mexico, New Orleans, St. Louis, and locally
A sacrificial commitment to retiring our debt, freeing us to explore future expansion (Malachi 3:10; 1 Corinthians 16:2)
- Faithful giving of the tithe to support our ongoing Ministry Budget.
- A special gift offering on March 14, 2010 to the Building Fund, as a token of our thankfulness for His blessings.
- A two-year pledge to the Building Fund, above our regular giving, to accelerate the retirement of our debt, approximately $850,000. The pledges will be made on March 14, 2010 and giving begins in April 2010.
