Ministries
Children's Ministry::
We treasure our
children because we understand them to be a blessing from the Lord
(Psalm 127:3). It is our joy to come along side you, as
parents,
to disciple your children and point them towards Jesus
Christ. We
want to develop a Biblical worldview in your child by engaging them
with the Bible and helping to unfold God's Story as they
grow.
Please understand that you, the parent, are the primary discipler for
your child, however we have sought to create a loving and nurturing
environment for them to receive Biblical teaching and training to
reinforce your efforts at home. We also offer Biblical
parenting
seminars periodically throughout the year as needed, see Pastor Jason
to inquire about the next scheduled seminar.
Student Ministry::
Our
student ministry is not a separate culture in our church, they are not
merely an extension of the church; instead, we see the purpose of our
student ministry to be a tool that offers discipleship to our teens and
helps to fold them into the life of the congregation. This is
accomplished in many ways such as weekly Bible studies on Sunday
morning and Wednesday evening, special discipleship events, fellowship
events (such as football games, movie nights, etc), and other
activities designed for students. Additionally, our students are
encouraged to participate in all aspects of the church's various
ministries. If you are a parent of a teen, we believe that you are to
be the primary source of discipleship for your student. Our desire is
to come along side you in your discipling and aid you in that endeavor.
Music Ministry::
At
Faith Baptist Church we seek to provide an opportunity for people to
use their God-given musical talents for His glory. God’s Word teaches
that not all have the same gifts but we all have the same Holy Spirit
living inside us by faith in Christ. As a result, while all are
commanded in Scripture to praise and worship our Lord, we realize that
only some are gifted and called to serve as leaders in the music
ministry. Our choir is open to all individuals who have some talent for
singing, or playing an instrument, and desire to use that talent for
the Lord. We do not require an audition for entrance, but we do request
that anyone interested should be available for our Wednesday night
choir rehearsal at 7:35pm right after Prayer Meeting. Music reading
skills and previous choir experience are not essential but certainly
helpful. Our standard is excellence, our objective is to lead others to
worship the Lord in spirit and in truth, and our style is varied.
Please consider this your invitation to practice with us and to
discover if our music ministry is a good fit for you and for us as we
strive to serve Jesus Christ together. For more information,
see
our Philosophy of Worship.
Senior Adult Ministry::
VIP
is a Senior Adult ministry at Faith Baptist for adults age 55 and up
and their friends. Monthly meetings are held on 3rd Tuesdays at 11 a.m.
from January to October. Attendees bring food, table games,
and
friends for a wonderful time of fellowship. Non-members are always
welcome. Please contact our Church Office at 972-298-0528 for details.
Evangelism Ministry::
As
often as is possible, whomever is able meets at the church for a time
of prayer and then we head out into the community (typically a local
park) to share the Gospel through one on one conversations, Gospel
tracts, and (when in an appropriate location) open air preaching. We also take with us our
"Prayer
Stand" which serves as a means of engaging people, discussing their
needs, and ultimately sharing the Gospel with them. From time
to
time we partner with Wretched Radio and Living
Waters
for coordinated Evangelistic Outreach. Training in Biblical
evangelism is available and recommended upon request. On the
whole, however, we strive to maintain a culture of evangelism in this
church where each member embraces the Biblical mandate to share the
Gospel with the people they encounter individually on a daily basis. We
seek to create a culture in our church whereby the members of this
church seek to share the Gospel and develop relationships with
those are lost. For more information, see our Philosophy
of Evangelism
