Mike Wade speaking Sunday night

Follow us on Facebook
This Sunday morning I will continue in my series "Desire".  In our final sermon we will be bringing a message entitled "Losing My Spiritual Desire".  I will be looking at one of the major Old Testament characters; Elijah.  Elijah experienced a very difficult time in his life and he lost all desire to serve God and even to live. What led Elijah to this difficult place?  How did God bring him out of it?  Join us this Sunday as we see God drawing His servant back and giving him a fresh desire to live for Him.
This Sunday night at 6 PM one of our deacons Mike Wade will be bringing a message entitled, "What Satan Really Wants" hope you can join us.

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.

Father's Day this Sunday

Follow us on Facebook
This Sunday morning I will continue in my series "Desire".  This Sunday isFather's Day and we will be looking at a famous father in the Bible by the name of David.  The title of our message is "David's Desire (the consequences of forgiven sin)".  David gave into a strong desire and the result was devastating for his family.  We will learn this Sunday that yes our sins are forgiven, but the consequences of those sins can linger for the rest of our lives.  Yet God's grace is great enough to give us the strength to continue on even in the storm of our consequences.  Hope you can join us this Sunday.

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. Galatians 6:7 
This Sunday is Father's Day, hope you can join us on this special day. We will have a gift for all the dads present. There will be no Sunday night service so families can be together on this dad's day.
We had a chance to visit with Analeigh in Charlottesville Monday if you remember we had special prayer for her Sunday night at church praise the Lord she got to come home on Thursday.  Thank you for all of your prayer.

Evening of Praise this Sunday

Follow us on Facebook
This Sunday morning Jeff will be bringing a message from the gospel of John on"Acceptable Worship"

20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship."
21 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."John 4:20-24 (NKJV) 

Hope you will join us this Sunday morning (9 AM, 10:30 AM) as Jeff helps us  discover the kind of worship God really wants and deserves.
EVENING OF PRAISE This Sunday evening (6 PM) With special guest Johnnie Burnham plus Praise Team, Men's choral group and several soloists.  Join us for a time of beautiful uplifting music.
We have two more sermons left in our current series, these will be delivered on Sunday morning June 15 and June 22.  Desire is a strong feeling of wanting something and it is a huge factor in our spiritual life.  So far we have seen that desire reveals the fire in our souls.  It reveals what is really important to us.  We have also discovered that desire drives direction.  What I have a powerful desire for will determine the direction of my life.  On Father's Day we will look at David and how desire impacted his entire life and that of his family.
Hope you can join us for our final two sermons in the series "DESIRE"
