About
Our Team & Community
Our Story
Community of Faith is a Christian church that was established in 2010 and born out of a clear vision to be true to the Bible, faithful to Christ, winsome in witness, and passionate about sending people near and far to serve the Lord.
Our story is not about us. Our story is about Jesus: knowing Jesus, loving Jesus, living Jesus, and sharing life in Jesus. Our story is about family: family who serve together, pray together and worship together. Our story is a story of belonging, of healing, of life, of hope, of love. Our story is the continuation of God’s Story.
