What We Believe

Our Core Values
Faith Baptist Church exists for the purpose of “Making disciples, being disciples.”
We strive to accomplish our purpose by exalting God through the offering of worship in spirit and in truth, equipping believers through the preaching and teaching of the whole Word of God, and evangelizing our community and the world by obeying the Great Commission.
Since our beginning, Faith Baptist has aimed to be a church who is friendly with a welcoming atmosphere. We aim to be a church with solid doctrine, that is growing and committed to the gospel, and effectively studying and sharing God’s Word. We have aimed to be a church that sends and supports missionaries around the world.
