How does your giving impact disciple-making worldwide?
Take a look at the 2025–26 budget categories to find out!
The highest value is placed on men and women, college students, youth and children hearing the Word of God from the pulpit and in classrooms each week. We are privileged to enjoy gifted musicians leading joyful singing of His goodness and praises each week. Combined, these categories (Family Ministry, Discipleship Groups, Women's Ministry, College Ministry, Youth Ministry, Worship/Creative and Preaching) make up 43% of the budget.
Over 500 Faith members (about 88% ) are in Growth Groups. Small groups use guides created to parallel the sermon series and make life-changing applications of the Bible to daily life. Spiritual care happens as people pray for and encourage one another, meeting each other’s needs.
More than 100 times every year, the church doors open to receive hundreds of men, women, and children so they can be changed by the gospel. With an estimated 50,000 annual uses, Faith Bible Church’s campus accommodates large Sunday and Wednesday gatherings, plus many other ministry events with a wide-reaching impact! Regular giving is how we wisely steward this disciple-making resource.
Faith Biblical Counseling Center includes 21 certified biblical counselors able to provide in-depth discipling for men, women and children at the church and in our community. The center also provides extensive training for biblical counselors serving in many other churches.
Faith has invested in at least 36 men and women who have been trained and affirmed for vocational ministry, whether in the local church or in missions. Training includes The Master’s Seminary distance location at Faith, which is in its ninth year.
Giving at Faith Bible Church enables the gospel to be brought worldwide, in part by supporting 8 full-time global outreach partners. Faith also provides support for other partners within key regions. Partner churches around the world are supported by short-term teams promoting gospel opportunities.
