Follow us on Facebook

This Sunday our church celebrates its 38th anniversary as a church family.  In light of that fact I will be preaching out of Joshua 4.  The children of Israel are brought across the Jordan river in a powerful way by God.  He doesn't want them to forget.  He gives them some strange instructions to help them remember.  Has God done some great things for you, have you forgotten?  Join us as we take a stroll down "Memory Lane" (​The building pictured above is the "Hut" located at the city playground where Faith began) Memories give me strength for today and hope for tomorrow 38th Anniversary Celebration Join us Sunday afternoon beginning at 1:30 for afternoon of fun, food and fellowship.  We are headed up to the Grace Bible Camp in Goshen Virginia to enjoy an evening in God's creation.  Hope you can join us and spend the afternoon with us.  There will be no evening service because of our activities at the camp.

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 all 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.

Promotion Sunday

Follow us on Facebook View this email in your browser

This Sunday we continue our  two part series, "Impact!" (When a Christian sins).   This week we are looking at sin's impact on others.  Just as a rock dropped into a pond causes ripples that impact the whole pond, sin has a drastic effect on me and those around me.  12 And he said to them, "Pick me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will become calm for you. For I know that this great tempest is because of me." Jonah 1:12 (NKJV)  Jonah rebelled against God and those around him paid an awful price.  How does your sin impact your family, friends and neighbors.  We will see Sunday that sin 1.  Disrupts Lives 2.  Discredits God 3.  Delays the gospel Hope you can join us Sunday! New Clothes 4 Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, "Take away the filthy garments from him." And to him He said, "See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes." Zechariah 3:4 (NKJV)  This Sunday night we will be looking at a powerful image of salvation in the book of Zechariah.  I will be preaching this message in conjunction with our Communion service.  Hope you can join us this Sunday night at 6 PM.
