New series begins and Communion this Sunday night

Connecting people with God, Others and Service
As we journey through this life, we encounter all kinds of people.  Some of these people barely touch our lives and we pass like two ships in the night.  But some people, the people I call impact people can change us forever.  This impact can be good and rewarding or it can be extremely damaging.  King David was in a terrible situation, he was fleeing from his own son who had turned against him and had led a rebellion to overthrow him.  During this series we will take a look at those who impact us for good and bad.  Hope you can join us this Sunday at 9 AM or 10:30 AM.  The first sermon in this series looks at "The Believers", these are the people who believe in us and encourage us on even in very dark times.
This Sunday night  6 PM join us for communion.

Jeff will be leading us in a time of worship as we gather together around the Lord's Table

“Many people imagine God sitting comfortably on a distant throne, remote, aloof, uninterested, a God who doesn’t really care for our needs and has to be badgered into taking action on our behalf. Such a view is completely wrong. The Bible reveals a God who, long before it even occurs to men and women to turn to him, while they are still lost in darkness and sunk in sin, takes the initiative, rises from his throne, lays aside his glory, and stoops to seek until he finds them.” -John Stott

Please pray for our teens as they stand for the Lord in their schools.
My name is Billy Price and I have been the pastor of Faith Baptist Church for 41 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 40 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.
