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 second 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!

    Today we conclude our series, Atomic Brain Invasion—an invasion not of this world but of the mind. The enemy’s goal has always been to steal, kill, and destroy, and he begins by invading our thoughts. Scripture reminds us that our battle isn’t against people but against dark spiritual forces. As followers of Christ, we are called to protect our minds, to live as citizens of heaven, and to think differently from the world around us. This series has been a call to guard our minds from the lies that rob our future and to allow God’s truth to take control instead.

    Today, we flip the script. Instead of fearing invasion, we invite one—an invasion of the Holy Spirit, the Word of God, and the mind of Christ. When God’s truth fills our thoughts, it changes everything. This is a spiritual war fought in the mind, and the thoughts we allow in have atomic power. As we let God transform us from the inside out, His power flows through us—into our homes, workplaces, and communities—until it becomes an atomic church, influencing the city and the world with the hope of Christ.

    To live with that kind of power, we must let certain “atomic thoughts” invade our minds. Live with discernment—test every idea against God’s truth instead of accepting what culture says. Live with integrity—be the same person wherever you are, letting light fill every corner of your life. Live with humility—depend fully on God instead of trying to control what you can’t. Live with simplicity—refuse to chase after more stuff and focus on what truly matters. And live with possibility—believe that with God, all things are possible. Faith expands what is possible in your family, your work, and your life.

    Finally, live with priority—put God first above everything else. Jesus knew His purpose and kept His Father’s business as His focus from beginning to end. When we make God our highest priority, everything else falls into place. Real peace, joy, and direction come when we stop living for ourselves and start living for Him. If you want a life that matters—one filled with clarity, strength, and hope—let these atomic thoughts invade your mind. They hold the power to change your life, transform our church, and ignite a movement that can change the world.

    Scriptures – Ephesians 6:12 (CEV); 1 Peter 2:11 (Voice); Romans 12:2 (NRSVUE); Luke 11:35-36 (NLT); Matthew 23:12 (TLB); Matthew 11:28-29 (NIV); Luke 12:15 (NIV); Matthew 16:26, 19:26 (NLT); Mark 9:23 (CEV); Luke 12:30-31 (CEV); Matthew 10:39 (MSG)

    Verses – We are not fighting against humans. We are fighting against forces and authorities and against rulers of darkness and powers in the spiritual world. (Ep 6:12) Beloved, remember you don’t belong in this world. You are resident aliens living in exile… (1 Pe 2:11)

    Discussion – In what ways can we recognize when our thoughts are being influenced by the enemy rather than by God’s truth? How can inviting the Holy Spirit and God’s Word to “invade our minds” change the way we live each day? Which of the atomic thoughts…discernment, integrity, humility, simplicity, or possibility, do you most need to focus on right now, and why? What does it look like for you to put God first in your priorities? How might that choice impact your peace and direction? How can Faith Fellowship, as an “atomic church,” spread the transforming power of God’s truth into the community around us?

    Prayer – Father, thank You for the power of Your truth that transforms our minds and hearts. Help us guard our thoughts from the enemy’s lies and allow Your Word and Spirit to invade every part of our thinking. Teach us to live with discernment, integrity, humility, simplicity, and faith in Your limitless power. May our lives reflect Jesus in all we do, so that your power flowing through us will bring change in our homes, our church, and our world. In Jesus’ name, amen.
