Life at Faith | Ministry Celebration on May 31
Summer Schedule

Summer Schedule

We have transitioned to our summer schedule:
Worship Services now start at 10:00 am. 

Young Children and Worship is now on summer break,
and Summer Sunday School has begun!
Children can attend Summer Sunday School after the children's sermon.

This summer schedule will run until our Fall Kickoff on September 13th! 

Summer Sunday School

Sign up to help teach ONE Summer Sunday School Lesson

Summer Sunday School takes the place of Young Children and Worship during the summer months for children ages 4-6. Each year we ask for volunteers to teach ONE Sunday during the summer. It is taught during the worship service after the children’s message time. All materials are prepared, and it is easy to teach. Contact Wendy Smith (peterwendysmith@gmail.com) for more information or to volunteer.

Build, Bond, and Bless Our Church!

You are invited
Saturday, May 30 at 3:00 PM
for a fun afternoon working side-by-side
with our hands and hearts to build something meaningful.

Together we will create new outdoor spaces
for our church community as we build lasting connections with one another.

Don't worry--it's not hard work!
We’ll be working on fun projects like:

Gaga Ball Pit   +   Picnic Tables   +   Park Benches
And a few other simple projects...

It's not just a workday—it’s an opportunity to connect, laugh, and build lasting friendships.

NO BUILDING SKILLS OR EXPERIENCE REQUIRED!
Just a willing attitude, any tools you may have (e.g. drills, screwdrivers, wrenches), and be ready to have fun.
The church will provide drinks, snacks, and dinner.

Youth are invited to participate.
For safety, younger children must be accompanied by an adult.

We Want You!

We Want You!

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes during Sunday worship? Faith's Media Ministry plays a vital role in helping our church worship experience run smoothly—and we’d love for you to join us! 

Opportunities include:

  • Running sound during services
  • Operating the livestream
  • Using ProPresenter to display worship lyrics and sermon slides

Volunteers can be mature middle school students through adults. No previous experience is necessary—just a willingness to learn, an appreciation of technology, and a heart to serve. We'll teach you everything you need to know.

There are flexible ways to serve by joining either a regular monthly rotation or volunteering as an "on-call" alternate when needed.

If you’re interested in helping or would like more information, contact ben@faithecc.org

Come be part of a ministry connecting people to life in Christ and community--in our sanctuary and around the world.
