Pray for our non-promotable missionaries in sensitive areas as prayers are much needed.

We love our Faith Bible Team! Each year, the church body blesses our staff with end-of-year bonuses. This is a tangible way we say "thank you" for all their hard work. If you would like to contribute towards this gift, please designate your donation as "staff bonus."
We're hiring! We're looking for a part-time Social Media Coordinator to manage our social platforms and create meaningful moments of connection online. This job is more than scheduling posts. Our social media platforms are one way we take grace to our community. Most visitors see Faith Bible's posts before stepping foot into our building. If you're interested in using your skills to share grace with others, learn more about the social media position and apply below.
We're excited to bring back the Giving Tree this year as part of our season of giving. Stop by the Giving Tree in the foyer and learn how you can bless a family in our church this Christmas by purchasing items on their wish list.
Women's Christmas Brunch
Zechariah was both a good man and a man who had faced deep disappointment. He had long stopped expecting God to answer his prayers. When God showed up, he wasn't ready. How can we prepare our hearts to welcome Christ, whenever he might arrive? Join us in the church foyer on Saturday, December 3 for brunch, fellowship, and a special message in the worship center from guest speaker, Hannah Connor. Doors open at 9am and brunch begins at 9:30am. The cost is $25 per person. This is a "ladies only" event and no childcare is provided. Register before November 28.
On Thursday, December 8 at 5:30pm, we're kicking off the Christmas season with an outdoor, family-friendly worship night! Bring your comfiest chair and coziest blanket and meet us in the courtyard for food trucks, Christmas carols, and complimentary s'mores!
City Serve 2023
Save the date for City Serve 2023! City Serve is an opportunity to take grace to our community. On Saturday, January 21, we're partnering with local ministries to participate in 16 family-friendly service projects. After completing your project, we'll meet at the church at 12:30pm to eat lunch and celebrate what God has done through our church body. Browse the projects on our website and sign up for a project individually or with your family and friends. If you sign up by December 15, you're guaranteed a free City Serve t-shirt.
Today is the last day to receive early bird pricing for the Men's Retreat! Join us at Camp Cho-Yeh February 3-5 for a weekend of fellowship, friendship, and connection with God as we enjoy time pursuing Him and each other. Registration includes two nights of lodging, five meals, and most activities. Check-in starts Friday, February 3, 2023 at 4:30pm with Friday dinner starting at 6:30pm. The retreat will end by noon on Sunday. We hope you'll join us!
We're excited to share our new internship program! The Faith Bible Church Internship Program provides you with experience and knowledge in ministry. We have a wide variety of positions available for 2023. Learn more or apply below. If you're interested in housing an intern for the summer, please contact Mike Arnold.
We'd love to pray with you! We are available to pray with you after the Sunday worship service at the front of the Worship Center or in the Prayer Room located off of the foyer. You can also receive prayer throughout the week by filling out our online Prayer Request Form.
