SERVING THE FAMILY OF FAITH IN MINISTRY

As members of Faith Church, we value the gifts God has given us to serve each other in worship and mission. Has God called you to one of these ministries? Contact Elizabeth Hunter: elizabeth@faith-church.org  for information about serving with any of our ministry teams.

Altar Guild - Serve God in His house by preparing the Sanctuary for worship, maintaining and caring for the sacred vessels, altar linens, and vestments, and serving the clergy and the parish. 

Flower Ministry – Enhance worship by adding natural beauty in the form of flowers for worship services.  Team members purchase and arrange the flowers for the sanctuary.

Lay Reading - Take on the important role of reading the scriptures for our weekly services and assisting in the serving of the elements at Communion.

Landscaping and Facilities Support – Help care for our church buildings and grounds, ensuring a tidy and beautiful setting for worship.

Music Team - Our music team guides the congregation as we sing and worship together as a church.  Their focus is on fostering a meaningful worship experience during every season, and deepening our love and devotion to Christ. 

Nursery Reserve – Screened and trained volunteers who are on-call in case one of our professional caregivers is unavailable to serve.

Prayer Ministry – Join with other intercessors to pray for our church, members, visitors, and our communities through our prayer chain, Evening Prayer services, and communion time prayer.

Tech Team – Provide technology, including Graphics, Sound Engineering, and Live Stream, to facilitate the worship experience for both in-person and remote participants of services and church events.

Welcome Team - Faith Church is a place where people belong, grow deeply in Christ, and bear visible witness to the Gospel in our community.  The Welcome Team helps ensure that everyone who comes through our doors has a great experience by assisting with the parking lot, greeting everyone, helping with name tags, making coffee, serving as ushers, and connecting people with clergy or other members.   

…to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ…Ephesians 4:12

FAITH KIDS

Each Sunday we strive to engage our children and students in learning about God and His Word. Kids of similar ages fellowship together as they explore Biblical truths in age-specific Sunday school classes.

Nursery and Pre-school

Children ages four and under are welcomed by trained caregivers in the nursery for the duration of the 9:30 AM service, where they can enjoy music, Bible stories, and coloring. Contact:

Faith Kids, Children Grades K-4^th Grade

Elementary-aged kids enjoy Bible lessons and crafts in the Faith Kids classroom.  We aim to equip our children with the truth of the Bible and God’s love for them, and to create a community that supports and nurtures our children through passing down Anglican teachings.

Faith Foundations, Grades 5-8^th Grade

Our goal is to help our students to grow in the knowledge and love of our Lord Jesus Christ while giving them a foundational understanding of Biblical truth and church doctrine.  This class is designed to prepare students for Confirmation.

Both Faith Kids and Faith Foundations meet during the 9:30 am service. Kids will start the service with their families, be excused to class after the opening worship, and return to the sanctuary for communion.

We love our kids and invite volunteers to serve as teachers or aides.  For more information contact:

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.  Proverbs 22:6

COMMUNITY GROUPS SERVE, LEARN, AND SHARE LIFE TOGETHER

Community groups are a central aspect of our church life. They purpose to create and maintain caring, Biblical community to promote transformation to Christlikeness.  They are how we encourage each other & grow in our relationship with Jesus.

We have a variety of formats, with varied levels of commitment.

You may sign up and learn more about all of our community groups here.

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.  Hebrews 10:24-25

Faith Church Women’s Ministry exists to create events in which women can experience spiritual transformation in the context of relationships.

Global Partners

Emiliani Project in Colombia, South America - “Our mission is to protect, nurture and educate abandoned children so that they are able to live healthy and fulfilling lives, from childhood through early adulthood. We achieve this mission by ensuring that all of our children’s needs are met. This includes a home, nutritious meals, formal education, medical care, counseling, and a loving and caring environment. We work with all children in need, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity or gender. We provide monthly support, engage in annual mission trips and build relationships with the leaders and kids.”

The Faith Church team travels to Colombia to help to build dorms for kids, paint existing structures and most importantly build lasting relationships with the staff and children they serve. Sharing God’s love through service and presence leads to growing disciples both in Colombia and here in Texas. When we serve, we also grow closer to God and each other.

Hope Ignited in Guinea, West Africa - “We work to reshape the imagination of the people of Guinea towards God’s coming Kingdom through gospel centered healthcare, agricultural projects and capacity building programs. We support this amazing ministry on a monthly basis and are exploring new ways to partner with them.”
