I grew up in a very conservative church where women were not encouraged to be involved in ministry. I never thought that sharing the Good News was something that God had called me to do. Once I joined the church and became more involved, Rev. Joel asked me to consider becoming a lay speaker. This simple question caused a major shift in my life and changed my relationship with God because suddenly I felt encouraged and supported as I let myself believe for the first time what God may have given me the gift of public speaking for. Faith Church has changed my life and brought me closer to God by encouraging me to invest in my faith and use the gifts He has given me.

The community outreach has been a blessing those who serve. We are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus and Faith UMC provides many opportunities for people to serve. The prayer shawl Ministry has been a wonderful aid to my prayer life.

Faith Church has brought me closer to God through the many ministries. I enjoy serving God through helping others. My favorite ministry to help with is the Meal Outreach Ministry. Serving food to those who are hungry with a smile. God has given me many opportunities to serve his people through Faith United Methodist Church. I proud to say I am a part of this church family!
