Leadership Training
Faith Bible Church is committed to training the next generation of Pastors, Deacons and Church-Planters through leadership training that is truly church-based. The model is local church leaders training other men in the context of ministry, focusing on character development and ministry skills, as well as sound theology. We offer intense leadership training simultaneously at various levels.
Currently we have men who have gone through our training that we would consider sending out to churches that have leadership needs. Contact Ray Russ if you have any questions.

Missions
The missions policy at Faith Bible Church is founded on God's revealed plan to redeem mankind and reestablish His sovereign rule within their lives. It is our desire to raise up servants from within Faith Bible who have faithfully ministered within this body. Our goal is to train, equip, support and send out individuals and teams committed to sharing God's good news of redemption. We consider it a high privilege and awesome responsibility to be a "sending church" in planting churches among other ethnic groups of the world. (Visit our Missions Page.)
