what we believe

Statement of Faith

This Statement of Faith affirms Faith Christian Community’s commitment to sound biblical doctrine and the core beliefs to which it is committed. Christianity involves essential truths that are taught in Sacred Scripture and are meant to embody our faith and guide our lives. These truths — which reveal the nature, character, work, and promises of God in the Gospel — form the foundation of our faith and the center of our fellowship.

our church governance

Throughout the New Testament, principles of church leadership point to a central theme — plurality. As modeled by scripture, Faith Christian Community church is led by a plurality of leaders known as elders, that are comprised of members selected from the church body, and up to three staff elders — called pastors — that make up the staff leadership team (SLT). This plurality of elders provides a healthy checks-and-balances of leadership direction, financial accountability, spiritual guidance, and ministry implementations.

Faith Christian Community elders provide spiritual oversight, vision, direction, and leadership of the church and its mission, entrusting the implementation of that mission to staff leadership, including deacons and diaconesses, who are supported by ministry staff. Staff leadership is accountable for following the elder's vision and direction, and executing the mission. This system of organizational leadership, known as Policy Governance, allows the elders to focus on their biblical mandate to lead and shepherd the church while allowing staff leadership the opportunity to maximize the use of their gifts and talents as they lead their respective ministries in accordance with the vision and mission provided by the elders.

The tasks and responsibilities of elders require discernment as they strive to keep the church on biblical course. The elders tackle key issues facing the church.

◉Ensure the overall vision and mission of the church reflects the Great Commission in Matthew 28:16–20.
◉Approve policies defining church values and biblical operating procedures.
◉Ensure the church’s teachings and practices reflect accurate biblical theology.
◉Assure avenues for pastoral care, conflict resolution, discipline, and restoration.
◉Provide direction and approval on financial or risk-management issues.
◉Assure continuity and alignment between the church, The Center, and the FaithDaycare & Learning Center.
◉Provide staff elder (pastor) oversight, to ensure the values are adhered to, vision is being followed, and mission is being carried out.

Sunday Experience

What to wear

Some people dress up and others dress very casually. We encourage you to come the way you feel most comfortable. This is Alaska, you know!

Services

Our energetic worship services are primarily made up of engaging worship music, communion, and dynamic teaching. God’s Word is presented in an applicable way.

Both in-person services have identical content. If you prefer a mellower service, the 9am is for you. If you like a more spirited, high energy worship experience, then attend the 11am service. Both Services last about 1 hour, but it may surprise you how quickly it flies by!

Response

After the service message, our band may lead a few more songs to give you an opportunity to sing or pray with others, so you can leave ready to face the week.

Children

If you have children, we provide children’s church (birth – 5 grade) for both our 9am & 11am services. Check-in is at our main entrance. At FaithKids, they’ll learn and have fun in an exciting and safe environment.
