Faith Baptist Church believes that the local church is to be comprised of committed contributors rather than passive consumers. Because Jesus is the “Head” of the church, every believer is under His authority. Being a member of a local church is akin to being a “member” of a body (1 Cor 12:12-14, 27), not a member of a “club”. It involves growing and serving together for glory of God and salvation of all peoples.
