A Staged, Socially Responsible Plan for Reopening Faith Ministries
Prefer a printed version of our reopening plan? See the Reopening Documents & Helpful Links section below.
Prayer Team: Join our Prayer Team as we bathe our re-opening plans with prayer for God’s strength and protection. We understand that unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain that build it (Psalm 127:1).
Service Tickets: Please register to attend a service by reserving your free tickets.
Kids Tickets: Families wishing to place their children in our onsite ministries should register for tickets each week.
Online Streaming: Our Sunday services will continue to be offered virtually; additionally several Adult Bible Fellowships, Sunday School classes, and Faith Community Institute classes will also be available online.
If you'd like to join an online Bible Study, Adult Bible Fellowship, Point Man Group, etc., please contact Pastor Dustin Folden for more information.
As we all try to manage through this health crisis, another crisis is at hand: A Blood Shortage. Blood has no substitute, and Blood is Life.
Faith Community Ministries has joined with Versiti Blood Centers of Indiana and the American Red Cross to support the community and will be offering several blood drives over the next few weeks as a support system for our local community.
Versiti, the Red Cross, and Faith Community Centers are following all social distancing protocol currently recommended to ensure the safe donation of blood at each of these upcoming events.

Faith is very thankful for the healthcare professionals serving our community during the current outbreak of COVID-19. We understand that the closing of schools and childcare facilities has created a hardship for many of these professionals. Our love for Christ motivates us to love and serve our neighbors—especially those who are laboring sacrificially to serve the public interest.
Local healthcare providers have asked us to design a program to serve the children of nurses, doctors, and other healthcare professionals. Individuals and families from Faith Church and Faith Christian School are opening their homes to provide childcare for the children of Greater Lafayette’s healthcare workers.
Following a prayer list of our church and community members who work in the healthcare industry that our members can use to lift these special servants up in prayer as they sacrifice their safety each day to keep us safe. If you work in the healthcare industry and would like our church family to pray for you in this way, please send us: Your name, Where you work and what you do, and Any specific prayer requests. Thank you for all you are doing for the Lord and our community. Please be encouraged by the words of Hebrews 6:10 - For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints.

"Friends, the Christian doesn't have to be gripped by fear during a time like this, because we're really secure in our relationship with the one who is holding us." We trust these inspirational video posts will help you as you try to make sense of and navigate daily living during the coronavirus protocol.

"In our modern world it isn’t often that something happens that affects the life of every individual in the world. World wars, world economic crises and pandemics do not happen every day. During these moments, the earthly structures in which we tend to find security...may all seem threatened or may be failing. The natural temptation is to fear."
