38th Anniversary

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.
