CHURCH LEADERSHIP FACC Elders

Farewell Avenue Christian Church is a congregation of Bible-believing people striving to put Jesus first in every area of life. We exist as an independent, non-denominational fellowship and desire simply to be known as Christians.

We believe that Jesus the Christ is the Head of His Church, and that every Christian is a part of His Body. We do not believe we are the only Christians, but our priority is to be Christians only. We plan to speak where the Bible speaks, and remain silent where the Bible is silent. We take the Bible as our single rule of faith and practice.

Because salvation made one a member of the original New Testament Church we read about in the Bible, we follow that pattern. We refuse to impose more on people than the Word of God asks to be a Christian, and we require no less than the Word requires.

Therefore, membership here requires that you believe in Jesus the Christ as God's Son, and be obedient in Christian baptism, which (according to scripture) is the burial of a penitent believer in water.

Jesus said, "All authority in heaven and earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I will be with you always, to the very end of the age. (Matthew 28:18-20)

This is why we make disciples. This is why we baptize, and this is why we continue to teach.

We welcome you to our services. If you live in our vicinity, we cordially invite you to be a regular part of our local fellowship as we worship and serve Jesus, our Lord. God has created an environment for all living things. He made the world so that every creature could find food, comfort, and protection. He provided His Church as the nurturing environment for fellowship and benefit of those who are "born again." Jesus is interested in you, and so are we.

If there are any questions that you may have, we hope you will feel free to ask.
