Special guests at Faith this Sunday

Follow us on Facebook

Since our childhood we have been afraid of the dark. What is lurking in that unseen blackness? We fear not only the physical darkness but spiritual darkness.  Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that overwhelm us and cast us into great darkness.  But there is hope, we know someone who sees in the dark and is with us in the darkest night.  David wrote about Him in Psalm 23: 4 Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. Psalm 23:4 (NLT)  Join us as we reflect on this great passage of scripture that can lighten our way as travel through dark valleys. This Sunday at 2 PM our church will be hosting the Baccalaureate Service for Alleghany High School.  Our teen praise team will be providing music along with the school choir and I will be speaking.  You are welcome to attend, but please pray for this service. Jane Hoadley missionary to Nigeria will be our special guest in the Sunday Evening service at 6 PM in our Worship Center.

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.
