This Sunday night the Christmas season begins at Faith with our Christmas Communion, hope you can join us for this very special time.


The church office was broken into over the Thanksgiving holiday, cash was taken but there was no damage to the building.  Please help us keep the church secure, if you use the building during the week please be sure and lock the building.  Thanks

The church approved the new 2013 budget last Sunday night, here are some of the highlights of the new budget . . .

*The church voted to take on Chris and Leann Chesley as our mission team for 2013 we will be using mission team monthly support for one year as they start a new church in Beckley West Virginia
*We have over $10,000 in mission team fund for any trips taken in 2013 (Caleb Vance from our church is headed to Turkey in 2013)
*We voted to support Bill and Vicki White from our mission retirement fund for $75.00 a month, support for Grace Bible Camp will continue at the same amount
*WRE joined our regular mission family at 1/2 % support, our mission support level is now at 21.5% of our total income
*The breakdown of the new budget is as follows:
