Take the age-old truths of the Bible and present them through engaging messages, striking visuals, and great music. Moreover, we are authentic and passionate about presenting Christ in a way that is new and refreshing. The leaders of Faith Fellowship are intentional about creating an atmosphere that takes the stress out of going to church.  Whether you have never been to church, been away for a while, or have attended your entire life, Faith Fellowship feels immediately comfortable. From the moment you pull into the parking lot, we will make you feel at home. Parking volunteers will help you find a place, and they are available to assist you in getting inside if needed.

Faith Fellowship is barely into the third decade of living out our mission: to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Come and see why so many people are making Faith Fellowship a part of their lives.

You will experience worship at Faith Fellowship in a casual, intuitive, high-tech atmosphere with today’s culture in mind. The weekend service is creative, contemporary, and compelling with only one intent–to present the message of Jesus Christ in a way that is relevant and alive. The high-energy, cutting-edge worship, drama, and multimedia presentations highlight the worship experience. Pastor Dr. Daymond Talkington uses a no-holds-barred communication style in applying God’s Word to life’s complexities. This isn’t church as you have known it; it is energetic, captivating, and never boring.

The band is styled after the timeless rock and roll lineup, complete with electric and acoustic guitars, bass, drums, and keyboard. The sounds you hear on your favorite radio stations can also be heard at Faith Fellowship–rock, soul, jazz, and blues. The band rivals any in the area (Christian or secular).

If you have children, rest assured that they will be in the best possible care. All members of the Children’s Ministry Team undergo a criminal and civil background check to ensure complete safety. While parents are experiencing the creative, life-changing weekend service, children are participating in their own high-energy encounter in the new Kids Zone Building. They won’t want to go home!

Message This Week


  • DREAM MAKER • Dream Weaver  – 11/1/26

    God is our dream maker, and He promises to work all things together for good for those who love Him. Dreams come with challenges, disappointments, and sacrifice, but God can use them to prepare us for what He has planned. We must trust Him rather than trying to make things happen through our own efforts and manipulation.

    Jacob and Esau’s story shows how the desire for a blessing can create hurt and division. Although God had promised Jacob the blessing, Jacob and his mother resorted to deception. We can make the same mistake when we strive and manipulate instead of trusting God to provide what He knows we need.

    We can bless the children in our lives through affection, encouragement, and love. A hug, a kind touch, or simply spending time together communicates that they are valued. We must also use our words to build them up, reminding them that they are loved, important, and capable of facing life’s challenges.

    We bless children by teaching them right from wrong, encouraging their gifts, and helping them discover who God created them to be. We must avoid favoritism and make sure our children know they are loved, rather than assuming they already understand how we feel.

    Whether your children are young or grown, make sure they know they are loved. If you received your parents’ blessing, pass it along. If you did not, remember that your Heavenly Father calls you special, wonderfully made, and deeply loved. You can become the blessing you never received and make a difference for generations to come.

    Scriptures— Romans 8:38 (NLT); Genesis 2:3(NLT), 12:2 (NRSVUE), 25:28 (NLT), 27:34-35 (GNT), 25:23 (NLT), 27:26-27 (MSG); Proverb 18:21 (MSG) 

    Verses— We know that in all things God works for good with those who love him, those whom he has called according to his purpose. (Ro 8:28) Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit—you choose. (Pr 18:21) 

    Questions – Why do we try to make things happen on our own rather than trusting God to provide for us? Did you receive your parents’ blessing? How does their blessing or lack of it impact a child’s future? What does the story of Jacob and Esau teach us about the danger of favoritism? What are some practical ways you can show the children in your life that they are valued, loved, and important? What impact do our words have on our children? 

    Prayer – Dear God, help me to be a willing participant in your plan and know that I can trust You to guide my steps and make a way, I don’t have to do it on my own. Help my words to be life-giving and fruitful. May I encourage those around me and especially the children who are in my circle of influence. Thank you for blessing me so that I can be a blessing. Let that knowledge be at the forefront of my words and actions each day. In Jesus’ Name I pray, amen.
