Thank you for visiting Faith Presbyterian Church’s website.  I appreciate this opportunity to tell you why I think Faith is worthy of your serious investigation if you are searching for a church home.

The Faith congregation is warm, friendly and accepting.  Though persons can come, worship God, and not feel pressured to become “family”, the people of Faith are extremely open and very willing to build personal relationships with all who desire them.  Faith congregants take seriously Jesus’ command for believers “to love one another” and they show their love by sharing in each other’s joys and by providing whatever is needed during times of sorrow, suffering or scarcity.  I am told repeatedly by members who move from the area that when it comes to building relationships and truly caring for people, “no church does this better than Faith.”

Two other readily noticeable characteristics of Faith Presbyterian are the emphasis placed on worship and the teaching of the Bible.  We at Faith are convinced that the most significant activity in which humans can engage is the worship of God.  Because we believe this, much thought, energy and prayer are devoted to the design of worship services and to the leading of them.  In all worship services, Bible school classes, youth programs and adult small groups, the Bible is explained and applied to the life issues that people of today face.  While conscious effort is made to give an understanding of Scripture to those who have very little of that, we have been told that Faith can also be “like a graduate school of Christianity.”  Faith is a great place for people who desire to get to know the Scriptures well.  The systematic teaching of the Bible to children and adults is one of our core values, because we believe the Bible to be God’s message given to men and women so that in it they can find forgiveness from their sins and have a relationship with Him now and forever.

While the Faith family has many other characteristics that make it a truly great church, the last I will mention here is the congregation’s commitment to help those outside the walls of the church.  Faith members take the message that “Jesus gives eternal life to all who trust him as Savior and Lord” to the neighborhoods of North Wilmington, to the inner city, to our state’s correctional facilities, and through their personal participation in mission projects, to other states and to the world.  Faith people also give generously to grow Christ’s church in this country and the world.

As a student of churches and church life, I can say with integrity that Faith Presbyterian Church is a great church.  We would love for you to visit with us and to investigate carefully and fully the possibility of this church becoming yours.

Sincerely,

Jim Brown
Senior Minister
