Vision

We envision Faith Church to be a dynamic community of believers, celebrating and growing in discipleship and faithfulness, touching lives in Knox County and beyond in the name and by the power of Jesus Christ.

Values

  • The Gospel calls us to unconditional respect for all people, recognizing and affirming each individual as a unique and precious child of God.
  • Prayer is a vital part of our interaction with God, one another, and the world.
  • Scripture provides the foundation and directions for our decisions and faithful living.
  • Each person who interacts in this church is uniquely gifted by God for service and ministry, and is invited to grow in their discipleship and faithfulness to Christ and a Christian lifestyle.

Faith Foundations

Faith Church teaches and believes that our God...

  • Has created and continues to sustain all that exists, and his truth is revealed to us in the Scriptures.
  • Has provided a foundation for ministry in the historical witness of the Christian Church, especially the ecumenical creeds and the Lutheran Confessions.
  • Has become a part of human history in the life and ministry of the crucified Jesus of Nazareth, our risen Savior, so that we might know that we are loved and encouraged by God's grace alone.
  • Works through the church to redeem all creation through the Holy Spirit's power and strength.
  • Changes lives through the power of Jesus Christ in the life of each person, calling them to lives of...
    • discovery of ways to serve in faithfulness
    • ongoing renewal and discipleship
    • hospitality, welcome and acceptance in Jesus' name
    • compassion and care toward all.
