We are glad you are considering a visit to Faith Baptist Church in Attica...


First,  you should know what NOT to Expect.....


1.   When you come to Faith Baptist Church,  do not Expect Professionals.


If you are looking for a church full of professionals,  this is not the church for you.   We are simply trying to put one foot in front of the other one and learn something.   None of us have it all figured out and we never will.



2.   When you come to Faith Baptist Church,  do not Expect Perfection.


We all make mistakes and do dumb stuff.   Please don't come to our church looking for Perfect people or a Perfect Church,  that does not exist!



 3.   When you come to Faith Baptist Church,   do not Expect Expectation.


What we mean is,   When you visit our church,  don't expect to have to give your life story or join something you don't understand or give a handful of money to something you don't agree with.    We do not expect anything from you other than respect for our services and our facilities.




Now,  this is what you can Expect......


1.   At Faith Baptist Church you can Expect to hear the Scriptures preached....

 


The world in which we live is in desperate need of the Truth.   We make no apology for teaching and preaching the absolute truths found in the Bible.   By hearing the Truth of Scripture,  unconverted people are convinced of their sin and their need for Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour.   And those who have received Jesus as Saviour are built up in their most holy faith.



2.   At Faith Baptist Church you can Expect old fashioned hymns...


We are not trying to impress anyone with our music style,  nor are we trying to entertain or work up emotion that is not based on truth.  We have a piano and an organ and we love to make a joyful noise to our Lord.   We sing songs that carry a biblical message to encourage our Faith in Christ and that cause our lips to praise Him and our hearts to worship Him.  We are not professional singers,  so don't expect a show,  but we do like to sing!



3.   At Faith Baptist Church you can Expect a Christ-centered environment...


There is too much emphasis in our humanistic culture on making people feel better,  as if God's sole purpose is to make you feel good about yourself and make your life easy.  Humanism says,  "It's all about you".  Biblical Christianity says,   "It is all about Him".   It is true that being saved and doing God's will brings peace and security to your heart;  and that makes you feel better,  as a byproduct.   Also,  it is clear that God wants to bless His people and bring them true happiness!   But true happiness and peace and security does not come through making life and faith all about us,  actually,  that complicates life and leads to many disappointments.  True happiness and contentment can only come by centering our expectations and decisions on the will of the Lord and living in a way that brings Him the glory.



4.   At Faith Baptist Church you can Expect to be Welcome....


When you visit our church your hand will be shaken by a lot of people - we are not trying to smother you or sign you up for something,  we are just glad to see you in church and seeking God.    It might be possible that you can leave and not feel welcome,  but you are always welcome,  and we will try to help you feel that way.
