There’s no agenda—just conversation as you walk, and a chance to pray for one another along the way. No long-term commitment either—come when you can and enjoy the fresh air and great company!

WHEN: Wednesdays at 6:30 PM (starting June 17 — weather permitting each week)
WHERE: East Shelter at Herrick Lake (look for Matthew Sevilla at the flagpole near the boat rentals)

Questions? Matthew will be at the Community Hub after church this week—stop by and say hi!

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.

This summer, our series is Psalms for Life, a summer‑long journey through psalms of praise, raw emotion, heartfelt prayer, and resilient faith that help carry us through every season of life.

Sunday worship begins at 10:00 am. Join us in person or via live stream on Facebook or YouTube. On Sunday, we will be learning about Psalm 46.

We have two assisted listening devices available at the sound booth every Sunday morning. Ask one of our sound booth volunteers if you would like to use one during worship!
