Ministries

At Faith, the heart of our Men’s Ministry is composed of the following core values: discipleship, integrity, love, prayer, and worship. Our mission is equipping men to: lead their families, serve their church, and influence their communities. The process of instilling these core values and equipping our men comes about through the regular expository preaching of the whole counsel of God as revealed through the Bible, small group study, men’s discipleship groups, service projects to help the widows and those with needs within our congregation, and regular work days on the church campus.

Our very youngest children (younger than three years) are welcome in Faith’s nursery. Staffed by the women of Faith, the nursery is an extension of our commitment to Christ’s call to allow the children to come to him.

This loving and safe environment allows parents to participate in church activities with the knowledge that their little ones are being ministered to and cared for properly.

The nursery is available during the Sunday Morning Worship Service.

At the age of three years, we want to help parents transition their children into corporate worship. This is a process as children learn what to expect in the service and what is expected as appropriate behavior. Faith wants to help our children learn to be a part of the worship service.

One of the challenges for these newcomers to worship is learning to quiet their minds and their bodies during the service. The amount of potential energy bound up in a preschooler is astounding!

With the support of the session, Faith Presbyterian offers “Welcoming Children in Worship” kits. These kits contain quiet, thoughtful activities for our covenant children to use during the sermon to occupy their wiggling fingers. By focusing and directing their energy, they will have ears more ready to hear the Word of God. In addition, their parents will be able to better listen to the preaching.

These kits are prepared for children three through six years old. The kits may be picked up in the room just off the sanctuary. A guide is included with each box to help parents understand how to use them most effectively.

For school age children beyond six years old, we will continue to offer weekly Children’s Bulletins, sermon related coloring pages, and Sermon Notes for Kids. These are thoughtfully prepared to match the sermon and help guide children through the concepts and teachings contained in it.

Another resource available is the section of the bulletin below the Sermon Notes titled “Family Worship/Devotions.” These questions are meant to stimulate discussion and further study of the sermon topic within the family, as you teach your children spiritually in the home each week.

As the Faith Family seeks to steward the precious resource of our covenant children, we realize that each small investment we make in time and effort with these little ones may one day influence God’s Kingdom, as they are the potential future Sunday School teachers, nursery staff, lay leaders, choir members, missionaries, and pastors.

The communication and spreading of the gospel are important at Faith Presbyterian Church. While each individual shares the privilege and responsibility to proclaim Christ and demonstrate his love, our Outreach Ministry allows those with particular talents to participate using those abilities.

Our multimedia outreach ministry includes audio, visual and social media platforms. Our goal is to provide gospel centered messages and biblical teaching to our church and world in accordance with our church social media policy.

Weekly sermon or Bible Study content is regularly distributed through Faith Presbyterian Church’s YouTube Channel: view our videos and our catalog of sermons at SermonAudio.com: hear a sermon

Faith Presbyterian has always been committed to the spreading of the gospel. We support international missionaries through our denomination’s affiliated missionary organization called World Witness. We also support a number of missionaries and organizations through direct financial support.  100% of the donations to the Sunday School offering are given to missions. It is a privilege to be a part of the missionary effort of our Lord Jesus Christ. Every Christian shares the privilege and responsibilities to both proclaim Christ and to demonstrate His lordship in the way we live the life He has given to us.
Also, we count it a blessing to be able to support others who have answered the call to “full-time Christian service.” As a connectional church, we recognize that what can be accomplished collectively is far greater than the sum of the parts of the individual congregations. Therefore, our primary missionary support effort is focused through World Witness, and our norm will be to only pick up missionaries under World Witness. We know that God is not limited to working through one agency; therefore, under special circumstances, we will give consideration to other missionaries.
The Session considers each applicant on an individual basis checking out the parent organization and using the following criteria:

• Missionaries and ministries we already support (need increase)
• Members of Faith who go into missionary work other than with World Witness
• Those going out with World Witness
• ARP’s not with World Witness
• Local evangelistic and missionary organizations under some authority and financial accountability
