Our Mission – Faith Bible Church exists to glorify God through our expressed need of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and by fulfilling his “Great Commission.”

Vision – We do this by gathering for worship and the study of the Bible, taking communion and baptizing believers, prayer, having fellowship in small groups, and by stressing evangelism and missions as we make disciples, strengthen believers, and train leaders through the local church both here and around the world.

We believe that Jesus’ command (Matthew 28:18-20) to GO and make disciples of all nations begins here in Stark County. We then carry the saving message of Jesus’ sacrificial life, death, and resurrection to our larger North East Ohio Region and ultimately to the World.

We believe that the Great Commission is both a corporate and an individual mandate. This means that we encourage every believer to preach the good news about Jesus to others as they GO about their life: in their families, neighborhoods, work and school.

We believe that in order to be an effective gospel witness we have to be saturated with the love of Jesus. Before we can GO effectively we have to understand our place in God’s big story, namely that we are not worthy of accepting or spreading Jesus’ message. Because of our sin, we are only worthy of death, hell, and destruction. Yet, God in His great love, sent Jesus to die for sinners. We believe that we are great sinners and that Jesus is a great savior. We carry this message to others even though in ourselves we are unworthy to be ambassadors of such love. Yet, because of God’s great love, we are now sons and daughters of King Jesus. He calls us friends, not because of anything that we have done, but because of what Jesus did. It is this message that we carry, first to ourselves and then to others. Won’t you join us in His mission?

We believe that our mission is to make disciples first by spreading the gospel message via evangelism. Then it is our mission to equip the believer through the preaching and teaching of the Word of God.

At Faith Bible Church we teach the whole council of God, primarily through verse-by-verse expository preaching. We believe that the best way to learn about God is by studying His scriptures in context in a systematic manner.

We believe that Christians are called to be in community with each other and to study and grow together, in accountability, and fellowship with each other and the Holy Spirit. We practice this by gathering on Sunday mornings and corporately sitting under the preaching of qualified pastors: who lead, feed, and protect our people. We also study together in Sunday school classrooms, small group gatherings called FLOCKS and in a variety of other bible study and training opportunities throughout the week.

We believe that the work of a believer in Jesus Christ is never complete. We are called to continually be pouring ourselves into others in the discipleship model that Jesus and the early church exemplified. Older more mature believers are to teach younger Christians. We believe that as individual Christians and as a church we aren’t fully mature until we are replicating ourselves. Thus we look for opportunities to make disciple who then in turn make disciples.
