Often when a new church is planted, the sole emphasis is on
the commitment and faithfulness of the founding visionary.
But we know that for the vision of a new church to go forward,
it takes men, women, boys and girls who are willing to risk everything
in order that God’s will might be done. Faith Community Baptist Church has been blessed to have twenty-three founders who were willing to step out in faith with Pastor Gould-Champ with nothing but a vision and a strong belief that God would provide everything else.
Today we give special honor to the nine active and faithful founding members (in black above) who have remained these twenty-six years. By the grace and power of Almighty God, they have
weathered the storms and remained rooted in this ministry.
We praise God for how they have offered their gifts so freely
to this ministry. They have been faithful over a few things and
have been the foundational blessing of this ministry.
We especially remember and celebrate the legacy of
our deceased founders, James Champ, III, Doris G. Davis and
Evelyn V. White, who deposited so much into this ministry
and who now cheer us on from the portals of glory.
