1 John 1:7
But if we are living in the light of God's presence, just as Christ is, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from every sin.

- "For we walk
by faith and not by sight." 2 Corinthians
5:7
Women of Faith is a group of ladies
committed to "ministering to women at the
point of their need". We believe that every
woman has been uniquely created and gifted by
the Lord. It is our desire to see each women find
her place of ministry and service in the body
of Christ. Through unity, diversity, and divine
direction, we desire to reach the women of this
region for the Lord.
For the past year, God has been unfolding "Fresh
Purpose" for the women of Faith Christian
Centre. We have taken hold of the Lord's unseen
hand and by faith have said, "Lord, we will
follow where you lead".
As the Lord began to lead us, we started what
we call The Journey. This is an exciting
8-week adventure that takes place twice each year.
The Journey begins with worship, followed by a
short teaching, and ends with a small group discussion.
The Journey builds strong relationships and provides
women with the opportunity to connect on a more
personal level. Childcare is provided and the
public is welcome to attend.
In addition to The Journey, there are several
exciting ministries and fellowship activities.
Women at Prayer meet every Wednesday morning
at 9:00 for a powerful time of prayer. The Women
of Faith sponsor a Ladies' Shopping
Trip in the fall and hosts a Christmas
Tea in December. Other events such as special
speakers, conferences, and Saturday
Morning Live! Brunches are planned throughout
the year. As the Lord has continued to lead us,
we have started Moms on the Move, a ministry
for young mothers.
With great anticipation, we can hardly wait to
see where the Lord will lead us next. In the meantime,
we invite you to come be a part of the exciting
things that are happening in the Women of
Faith.
For more
information about Women of Faith,
please contact Leigh Ann Brisbin, Director of
Women's Ministries.

Corinthians 1:3-4
- Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the
God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our
troubles, so that we can comfort those in any
trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received
from God. |
| Philippians
2:1-2 -
If you have any encouragement from being united
with Christ, if any comfort from His love, if
any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness
and compassion, then make My joy complete by
being like minded, having the love, being one
in Spirit and purpose. |

- America is a nation
at risk and is in distress at this very moment.
With cultism, school dropout percentages, and sexual,
mental, physical and drug abuse at an all time high,
it is obvious that this country is decaying rapidly.
As strong men of faith, the Lord is calling us to
arise and reclaim this land for Him. I Peter 2:9
says ‘we are a chosen people, a royal priesthood,
a holy nation, people belonging to God, that we
may declare the praises of Him who has called us
out of darkness into His wonderful light’.
Now is the time. We must set a godly standard in
our homes and in the church.
At Faith Christian
Centre, we believe the Lord is calling us to be
risk takers in three areas. First, we must interact
with other people and encourage them in the Lord.
Secondly, we are to pray for others during times
of need, as well as on a regular basis. Finally,
we are called to worship Him both individually and
corporately. By walking in these biblical truths,
a spirit of unity and strength will develop among
the men of Faith Christian Centre. Consequently,
we will be able to mobilize into a mighty army that
takes this region back for Christ.

more information, please contact Steve Graffis,
Director of Men's Ministries.
