Services This Weekend
Our staff and leaders are monitoring the North Carolina re-opening plan and currently evaluating what that means for our church.
As of now, Phase 1 of the North Carolina re-opening plan will not mean a change for our Faith worship services, so it is likely that we will continue to meet online during the month of May. As we have stated, we'll continue to stay abreast of updates and will communicate any changes on the website.
A couple of other notes:
How Can We Pray?
We should remember the words of Paul to Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." With that spirit, pray along the following lines:

A couple of other notes:
- A small group of our staff are meeting together to consider both a timeline and a plan for re-opening the church, when that opportunity becomes available and wise.
- For members of Faith, you can still support our church through regular giving by giving online through this page .
How Can We Pray?
We should remember the words of Paul to Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." With that spirit, pray along the following lines:
- God is sovereign, and in control of everything. As believers, our highest joy is not found in our own personal safety or even health, but in the outworking of His will in all events. To that end, pray that through this outbreak the Gospel will go forward and that men, women and children will be saved.
- Pray for wisdom for leaders in government and medicine as they respond to this outbreak. Pray they would put the interests of other before their own, and that they would respond wisely and appropriately.
- Pray for medical personnel who will be treating the sick. Pray for their own safety and health as they work selflessly to serve others.
- Pray for those who would be considered at high-risk: Seniors, those with pre-existing medical conditions, etc. Pray they would be wise in their precautions and protected from illness.
- Pray for Christians all over the world to respond to this situation with faith and not fear, allowing the Holy Spirit to give them the peace that passes all understanding.
We will share updates about future services and gatherings at www.faith-baptist.com/coronavirus, so please visit the page for the latest information.
