Our Mission Statement:
"Every Member a Missionary"

The Great Commission of Mt. 28:18-20 has two components that are part of making disciples.  One part is getting them started as a disciple (that's what "baptizing" refers to).  The other part is taking disciples deeper in their faith and commitment (that's what "teaching them to observe" refers to).  The mature believer is involved in both those parts.  The mature congregation is involved in both parts, locally as well as far away.  That's our mission.

Our Vision Statement:
"Making Disciple Makers"

We aspire to bring people to Christ, equip disciples, as well as develop local and global missionaries.  It's an ongoing, healthy cycle that we strive to achieve in a balanced way.  True, some will be burdened and gifted to accomplish one part more than the other, but together we work to accomplish it all.

Our Congregation:
Faith Church

The congregation's been around for over 125 years.  Our affiliation with the EFCA (see below) began about 40 years ago.  We moved to our current location over 30 years ago.  The church has ministries for all ages, but our mid-week ministry concentrates on kids and teens.  Those coming out on Wednesdays are a mixture of young people from our church, other churches and those with no church.  On Sunday mornings there is Sunday School for toddlers up through retirees.  Our worship service is a blend of contemporary and traditional elements and the way people dress reflects that, from shorts to suits.

We are part of the Allegheny District of the EFCA.  To find out more about the EFCA, click here.  To see more about our district, click here.

The EFCA is an association of locally autonomous churches.  Its Statement of Faith has ten basic points that are tied to historic Christianity.  To see that statement, click here.

Our Pastor:
Jeff Kroll

Before serving in the pastorate, Jeff and his wife Vivian were missionaries for 14 years with SIM, an interdenominational mission agency.  Most of those years were in Bolivia, South America, so both are fluent in Spanish.

The Krolls have been ministering here at Faith since June, 2009.  They have three married sons and five grandchildren.
