About Faith In Action Ministries
Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those having gifts of administration and those speaking in different kinds of tongues" [1 Corinthians 12:27-28]
As a member-focused, purpose-driven congregation, we are aggressive about providing opportunities for serving as well as ensuring that those necessary services are available to our members and the community.
We are intentional as we put our faith into action to provide for the needs of church body and the community through the tithing of our gifts and talents in obedience to the Word of God.
FIAC provides a central point of contact for connecting and nurturing volunteers through post membership follow-ups, recognition and celebration.
Ministries, partners, activities and events that provide serving opportunities for congregants are aligned with the system of beliefs (that is, Worship, Discipleship, Stewardship, Fellowship and Pastoral Care that we embrace at First Baptist Church.
Driving the bus or van, singing in a choir, serving in the media ministry and greeting congregants are just a few of the opportunities for service that are aligned with Worship. Teaching Sunday school or Bible Study, facilitating seminars and workshops, participating in the Men's or Women's ministries and serving in J.A.M. comes under Discipleship.
Missionary works, Scholarship, Economic Empowerment and volunteering in the Church Office are aligned with Stewardship. The Small Groups Ministry and Technology (including the development and maintenance of this website) comes under the umbrella of Fellowship.
Chefs, cooks, food handlers, senior or seasoned member activities, Pastor's Aide and caring for those in need, are associated with Pastoral Care.
