Faith Lutheran Church is GROWING! Current Sunday worship attendance is regularly 300 people. Nursery and Sunday School classes are offered during the services and classrooms are overflowing. The Sunday contemporary service is thriving. Five Christmas services and numerous Christmas pageants bring joy to hundreds. Additional pastoral supports, including an associate pastor and youth minister have been added. With 780 baptized members and 260 of those being between infancy and senior high school age, FAITH’s youth programs and ministries for all ages are flourishing! For the latest information on BOF, please see our current status page. For pictures of the new addition, see below.   FAITH is an “all week” church filled with Bible study groups, music ministries, workshops, classes, retreats, the Logos Program, Youth Serving God, Altar Guild, Prime Timers, Empty Nesters, First Communion and Confirmation classes, a high school group, Vacation Bible School, social fellowships, ministries and outreach programs. Our current sanctuary, fellowship hall, meeting rooms and offices are being strained to accommodate all our needs for worship, fellowship, ministry and Christian education. What a blessing for FAITH to be serving more children, more individuals and more families!   God has blessed us with a growing membership and all that takes place here at FAITH Everyone will benefit from a better worship, narthex, fellowship and Sunday school space. We hope you consider Faith Lutheran as your “church home,” as your “church community” and as the place we live in the Light of Jesus as witnesses to others and helpers to those in need. We hope you agree that FAITH is a place where future generations may come together and grow with God’s blessings. But it costs money. To pay for the construction of PHASE ONE, many of us have already agreed to make significant monetary gifts. If you are one, thank you, and please consider an additional gift. If you have not contributed to the building fund, now is the time to join us and become part of the plan. Blue colored giving envelopes are available at the church or from the church Financial Secretary. You can contribute in several ways. One-time gifts are always helpful but a regular giving program is the preferred way to raise the amounts needed. Just like automobiles and other items, periodic payments over months or a few years often fit the family budget. Please contact The church Financial Secretary to indicate your giving intentions so he can plan ahead.  Gifts of stocks and mutual funds are also handled through the Financial Secretary. (Contact the church office for the best way to contact the Financial Secretary.) A mortgage is also planned to cover the gap between the cost of the new space and funds gathered by the Building Fund campaign. It could be zero, if we raise all the funds. Please help lower the mortgage by giving to the building fund. If you have questions regarding the Building On Faith project, please see our Frequently Asked Questions Page.   We are Expanding our space to support our ministries. The project is called "Building on Faith" or BOF and adds new space and reuses existing space to meet these needs. The plan is now available for viewing. There is a "Master Plan" that fills the planning needs listed by the committee and a three-phase, multi-year construction plan to meet these needs. The "Phase One" plan has been approved for construction by the Congregation. Fund raising for Phase One is our first priority. If additional construction monies are made available (more pledges, bonds, loans), additional work "Phase Two" and "Phase Three" are possible sooner. The views are footprints and floor plans, 3-D model views and Computer drawings. These views are not created by the architects but are created by BOF members. The quality is less than views and presentations by the architects but, we hope, is helpful to your understanding of the project. There will be changes made as new ideas are added and problems are solved. Click one of the plans below to see what is planned so far.
