We are glad you are considering a visit to Faith Baptist Church in Attica...
First, you should know what NOT to Expect.....
1. When you come to Faith Baptist Church, do not Expect Professionals.
If you are looking for a church full of professionals, this is not the church for you. We are simply trying to put one foot in front of the other one and learn something. None of us have it all figured out and we never will.
2. When you come to Faith Baptist Church, do not Expect Perfection.
We all make mistakes and do dumb stuff. Please don't come to our church looking for Perfect people or a Perfect Church, that does not exist!
3. When you come to Faith Baptist Church, do not Expect Expectation.
what we mean is, When you visit our church, don't expect to have to give your life story or join something you don't understand or give a handful of money to something you don't agree with. We do not expect anything from you other than respect for our services and our facilities.
Now, here is what you can Expect......
1. At Faith Baptist Church you can Expect to hear the Scriptures preached....
The world in which we live is in desperate need of the Truth. We make no apology for teaching and preaching the absolute truths found in the Bible. By hearing the Truth of Scripture, unconverted people are convinced of their sin and their need for the Saviour and they become Bible believing Christians. And those who have received Jesus as Saviour are built up in their most holy faith. The preachers who preach here are not perfect and might make a mistake while on the platform preaching, but they try to bring truth with compassion every time they preach.
2. At Faith Baptist Church you can Expect old fashioned hymns...
We are not trying to impress anyone with our music style, nor are we trying to entertain or work up something that is not based on truth. We have a piano and an organ and we love to make a joyful noise to our Lord. We sing songs that carry a message to encourage our Faith in Christ and that cause our lips to praise Him and our hearts to worship Him. We are not professional singers so don't expect a show, but we do like to sing!
3. At Faith Baptist Church you can Expect to Worship God the Creator not the Creation...
That might sound like a duh statement coming from a church website. But the idea is that there is too much emphasis in our culture on material things and even what some people call "mother earth". We enjoy our planet and thank God for the beauty of Creation and do our best to steward it. But the One Who deserves the Worship is the Creator! The focus in this church is on God Himself. Taking emphasis off of Him in the preaching and teaching and music is not an option. Before every Sunday morning service, we take time in silence to bow before God and give him the preeminence. We believe God is pleased with the true worship of His people. And it can be refreshing to come into a church that has planned to be a Christ-centered church.
4. At Faith Baptist Church you can Expect to be Welcome....
I must admit, we might not always be the best at showing kindness and making people feel welcome, but we sure try. When you come, your hand will be shaken by a lot of people, we are not trying to smother you or sign you up for something, we are just glad to see you in church and seeking God. It might be possible that you can leave and not feel welcome, but you are always welcome and we will try to help you feel that way.
