the ministry at it's CORE...
Jesus is LIFE and serving Him is LIVING. Finding Him, as a young existentialist-atheist, lit my life up. Sharing the life-transforming Gospel of Christ with others immediately became my great aspiration. As the decades have passed, seeing the good and the bad that this world offers, I've realized that I can do no better than to offer Jesus. As the founder & sr. minister of Faith Christian Church, my responsibility is to keep our ministry focus on point. Therefore...We Give You Jesus
Jesus Christ IS the message of Faith Christian Church. Some churches operate around a specific emphasis: social reform, intellectual pursuit, spiritual development, personal improvement, community action, etc. But we have not been able to find a better focus than the Gospel of Jesus.
There is no better advice than His Word
No more fulfilling purpose than His mission
No more rewarding pursuit than His will
No greater understanding of self than in the face of His love
No stronger love to be found than His for you.
His truth liberates hopeless captives
His wisdom dwarfs the foolishness of intellectuals
His purposes lift people to noble heights
His Presence dissolves bonds and afflictions
His commands raise followers beyond their capabilities
He loves you in spite of…
He rebukes you so that…
He forgives you even when…
He helps you just because…
He calls you even though…
If the wisest philosophers and greatest authors of all time collaborated to create a story of the perfect man, they couldn't create the Jesus of the Bible. His character is far beyond the flawed attempts of human imagination. No writers could have penned so perfect a person; so complete a wisdom; so perfect a message.
Our message is Jesus. We give you He Who calmed the storm, raised the dead, forgave the harlot, healed the blind and gave a opportunity of faith to anyone who wished for Him. We give you Jesus.

Watch the amazing story of our church-planting beginning...November 2015 was the 40th Anniversary of the founding of our church-planting ministry. Pastor Lance Bane of Gateway Christian Fellowship in West Haven, Connecticut (formerly Faith Christian Church), graciously invited Kathy and I to come back and tell the story of the church's founding in November 1975.
This is a wonderful real-life testimony of GOD's amazing hand of grace making a way where no way exists, to fulfill His purposes. Enjoy... |
