Choir Christmas Musical this Sunday Night

Follow us on Facebook
We begin a new sermon series this Sunday  at Faith.  Christmas Roller Coaster will focus on the highs and lows of the Christmas season.  We will be looking into scripture to help us cope with this stressful time of the year and to learn how to worship God at this special time.  Due to the bad weather last week we couldn't begin our new series.  So Jeff and I will be team preaching this Sunday combining the first two messages into one. Hope you can join during this series.
December 15  Expectations/Worry (Jeff & Billy)

Candace and Brad Speer point to the true meaning of Christmas through this unique decoration in front of their home.
There once was an old church in England. A sign on the front of the building read "We preach Christ crucified." After a time, ivy grew up and obscured the last word. The motto now read, "We preach Christ." The ivy grew some more, and the motto read, "We preach." Finally, ivy covered the entire sign, and the church died. Such is the fate of any church that fails to carry out its mission in the world.-John MacArthur

My name is Billy Price and I have been the pastor of Faith Baptist Church for 38 years.  I graduated from Lynchburg Baptist College in Lynchburg, Virginia in 1975.  It is now known as Liberty University.  Upon graduation our little family of three moved to Covington Virginia to begin a new church.  Elaine, my wife; Robbie, my son and myself  started our grand adventure.  I was soon blessed with a daughter, Robin.  People often ask me did I know when I started I would be here 38 years later, I can honestly say no and God hasn't given me a reason leave.  I have enjoyed my ministry in the mountains of Virginia, if it is His will I hope to finish my race here, but that's up to Him.
