How Do I Get Plugged in at FBC?

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.

Marriage Ministry
The Marriage Ministry at Faith Bible Church is known as the “Couples For Life” ministry, and exists to equip Christian couples with the basics they need to produce a God-Honoring marriage. The deepest, most fulfilling relationship that two humans can experience is in the context of marriage. This earthly relationship is a mirror image of Christ’s relationship with His Church. To understand the purpose and goal of the marriage relationship will enable believers to glorify God, who is the ultimate author of marriage.

“Couples For Life” offers a wide variety of resources to help in the growth and the establishment of your marriage:
     · Weekly Devotionals with follow up are provided at your request.
     · Bi-annual Marriage Retreats offer couples a secluded time alone, away from
       daily, routine distractions.
     · Young Couples For Life (a Young Married ministry) meets weekly for a time of
       fellowship and edification.
     · Coming in 2007, weekend seminars aimed at specific issues married couples
       are facing.
     · First Principles of Marriage class offered one quarter every year.
     · Marriage Blog: http://fbcmarriagepastor.wordpress.com/

F.L.O.C.K.s
FLOCKs are weekly Bible Studies that take place in the homes of FBC members all throughout Stark County. These studies are designed for Fellowship, Leadership, Outreach, Caring and Knowledge. These studies allow our church family to have a presence in the community while providing weekly opportunities to participate in vital "one-another" fellowship. FLOCKs are held at on various days throughout the week.

Music Ministry
The Faith Worship Prompters is a group of dedicated musicians striving to prompt the local church body to offer up worship to our great God in spirit (pneuma, "breath") and truth (aletheia, "not concealing", John 4:23 & 24). They gather together on Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. for prayer, study of God's Word, fellowship and then worship music rehearsal. Learn more by visiting the Music Ministry site here.

Faith Bible Life Class
We offer a six-week class for those who wish to become better acquainted with the practices, doctrines, and functioning of Faith Bible Church. This is also an opportunity to meet other new people in this body of believers.

AWANA
We have chosen AWANA as a tool to continue to develop children. Even though we do not endorse all that AWANA suggests, we follow this ministry in every area we can. The AWANA group meets on Wednesday evenings during the school year at 6:45 p.m. and has classes for ages 3 years old through 6th grade. Click here to learn more about AWANA.

Seasoned Saints
We provide a special ministry for those 40 and older to study God's Word and share with each other. A Sunday morning class is available during the second service. We also have regular gatherings throughout the month.

Nursing Home Ministry
The mission of the Nursing Home Ministry is to reach the residents of our local nursing homes with the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ and to minister to them through the teaching of God’s Word and personal contact. This ministry involves group Bible studies presented every other week or monthly at each nursing home. The sessions last about 45 minutes and involve sharing of prayer requests, singing, and a lesson from God’s Word. Download a Nursing Home Ministry brochure here.

Friendship Center
This ministry reaches into Canton and meets the needs of special people in our area. Some aspects of this ministry include: Monday evening Bible Study, monthly dinners and message and a Sunday School class geared to their needs.

Television Ministry
In an effort to reach out to our community with the Gospel of Christ, we record the Sunday Worship Service and broadcast it on Time Warner Cable Channel 15 and Massillon Cable Channel 22 every Monday evening at 8 p.m.

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.)

Food Pantry
Faith Bible Church maintains a food pantry for distribution to those in need. Shelves are stocked by donations given by members of our church body.
