Faith Church looks pretty traditional on the
outside. It's a brick building
across
the street from Holland Hospital. It has wooden pews, a stage, and organ
pipes behind the pulpit. It was built in the 60's before churches
started experimenting with the "big box" designs that resemble Walmart,
but it's up to date with top-notch video and sound systems, including
digital aids for the hearing impaired. Our services are even televised
on Comcast Channel 14 and Charter Communications Channel 22.
But it's not the outside that counts. And what's going on
inside
that makes all the difference. Faith Church is more
than a place. It's a movement. It's an experiment in reconciliation of
the races. It's a rest stop for hurting people from all walks of life,
all economic conditions, and all physical abilities.
Worship is every Sunday at 9:30 AM and 6:00 PM. No two
services are alike.
Sometimes the music is led by guitars, drums and a
keyboard; sometimes the organist takes the lead. We're always on the
lookout for new songs and blending them with the more familiar tunes.
Frequently you'll get a taste of other forms of worship like sacred
dance from some of our own talented girls, or special music by a guest
artist. But you can always count on solid soul-food - preaching that
explains the Bible, puts it in context, and makes it relevant to your
life, your challenges, and your pain.
After the morning service, you'll have lots of
options. First, we'll welcome you with a cup of coffee, cappuccino, tea
or juice, and a cookie if you like. Then there are a variety of classes
to choose from for kids and adults alike. You can browse through the
library for books or videos that might interest you or your family. The choir typically practices
at that time if you'd just like to sit in and listen. Everyone is
usually on their way home around noon.
