The apostle Paul repeatedly gave definitions of the word Christian.  As he dealt with the many different churches and people he realized that many people don't really know what a Christian truly is and how to know if they possess eternal life.  This week we are looking at one such definition found in the book of Philippians.  How would you define a Christian?  Join us this Sunday at 9 AM or 10:30 AM This Sunday night  6 PM Ron Seabolt will be speaking this Sunday night at 6 PM.  Hope you can join us.

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 41 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.
