Faith Community Church, located between Powell and Cody, often called the

“Little Red Church on the Hill”, continues to offer a church service each

Wednesday evening at 6:30 p.m. This evening service is in addition to two Sunday

morning services; one at 8:30 a.m. and one at 10:00 a.m.

The non-denominational Christian church, which can be seen from the

Powell/Cody Highway on the North side, was established at the location just

across from Eagle’s Nest in 2012.

“Having three services available to our communities allows people to physically

spread out if they choose to, as well as offering time options that suit more of our

population,” says Pastor Dave Seratt.

Regarding the requirement of masks, Seratt says they are not required. “If

someone chooses to wear a mask, that’s fine, and if they don’t, that’s OK too. We

realize this is an unprecedented time, and we are certainly cautious. We don’t go

around shaking everyone’s hand, and we do maintain reasonable distances from

one another. We have asked people not to attend church if they are ill, of course.

We want to respect people’s comfort levels and just have a place where we can

worship together.”

The church has seen amazing growth over the past 2 ½ years, growing from about

75 people on an average Sunday to about 150 attending the 3 services. “Over 200

people call Faith Community Church their ‘church home,’” Seratt adds. “This

growth has led to the membership agreeing that it’s time to build on.” The church

is in the midst of beginning an expansion project focused on a Christian education

area (classrooms for kids) and additional space for fellowship.

Dear Faith Family,

The Lord has blessed us richly in so many ways, including an abundance of His people on Sunday mornings! This is why we asked for your input via survey last week; to help find a solution to the wonderful blessing of a flourishing congregation. Faith’s Servant Council, along with many of you, has been in prayerful consideration of this issue for several months.

Your Servant Council met Tuesday, July 30, to pray, review the survey results, and discuss the Lord’s will and vision for our Faith Family. Faith’s mission has always been to “Love God and Love Others”, and it is clear that the heart of this congregation is to reach more people with the Gospel message. With this mission in mind, and with the building committee in the early stages of expansion plans, the Council has decided to transition to two worship services as follows: 

Beginning Sunday, September 8, 2019

Worship: 8:30-9:30 a.m.

Faith Kids (Sunday School) and Fellowship: 9:45-10:30 a.m.

Worship: 10:45-11:45 a.m.

Potluck Events: Quarterly at 5:00 P.M. (October 20, January 19, April 19, July 19)
