Thank
you for taking the time to read a little more about us!
Although
we may be able to give you a little insight on this page
as to who we are as a ministry, the best way to get to
know us is to visit a "live service". We really believe
that people will know that they are "home" in a church
when they find the right one;
that God will speak to you about where you should be, so
you can be
"sharp enough to stick in the ground and green enough to
grow".
As with
describing a person, it's not easy to nail us down to one
certain attribute, so we'll do the best we can to give
you a little glimpse into we are as a church.
FACC is a family church, with a mission to build and
strengthen the entire family, from birth to going home
to be with Jesus
We believe in developing people to face life's
challenges, and to help people be strong believers in a
day and age where so much truth is watered down. We do
this through our regular services as well as strong
children's and youth ministry, men's and women's
ministry, and discipleship programs to help believers to
mature in their faith and experience victory in life.
We
are unashamedly "charismatic in expression"
Labels are unfair to ascribe to anyone, and sometimes even
harder to overcome, but the best way to explain it is
this: we believe what the Bible says. We believe
that God never took anything away from us (speaking of
the gifts of the Holy Spirit), except for sickness, sin,
poverty and disease. We make room for the move of the
Holy Spirit in our services through the gifts listed in
1 Corinthians 12, and let God be God in our midst. We
are passionate in worship, and express ourselves in a
way that honors God for who He is, and
what He has done for us.
We
have a strong desire to fulfill the last words of Jesus,
the Great Commission. (Mark 16)
Acts 1:8 tells us
"but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has
come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in
Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the
remotest part of the earth." We believe in starting
locally, in our own communities, by hosting outreaches
in many different forms, such as: Children's
neighborhood outreaches, weekly street teams, citywide
outreaches, billboard and media ministry, and much more. We
also support traveling evangelists as well as missions
in Mexico, the Philippines, and elsewhere. We have
prison outreaches, as well as reaching into our local
Parr
jail. We have a hospital chaplaincy program, and a food
pantry to help those who need something to eat.
