Celebrate the Kingdom of God
What would it look like if Jesus really were King—not just of some distant future, but of our lives here and now? This fall, join us for Kingdomtide as we explore Jesus’ announcement that God’s Kingdom has come near and discover what it means to live as people of that Kingdom today. We’ll talk about our neighbors, our priorities, the way we serve, the table we share, and the hope we carry into the world. The King has come. The King is reigning. And he is inviting us to follow him. Come and see what life in his Kingdom can look like.
November 8th
Our scripture for this week comes from Colossians 1:15 - 23. In this letter Paul proclaims some amazing things. All things in heaven and on earth were created by Christ and for Christ. He was the first to be resurrected from the dead and through him God has reconciled everything to him. As you ponder these verses you realize just how amazing these words are to all of us. Come join us at 10:00 as Pastor Zach helps us understand and apply them to our lives.

Welcome to Faith Connection
Our mission is to connect people to Jesus and to also connect people to each other.
Sunday morning worship services mix contemporary songs with traditional hymns as a way of offering praise to God regardless of what generation you are from. Pastor Zach's sermons are always based on scripture with specific application to our lives today. Bible studies, Children's Church, youth groups are all intended to connect individuals with Jesus.
We also believe in fellowship with each other, members of our community and the world at large. After worship services everyone is invited to "hang around" for a time of fellowship with coffee, juices, cookies, or a host of other treats. We're a friendly group that enjoys being with each other. We also believe in serving our community. Perhaps that's with clothes, or food for someone in need. Perhaps it is singing Christmas carols to folks in local nursing homes. Perhaps its donating funds for relief from natural disasters or special projects of missionaries we support. Loving our neighbors is an important part of who we are.
Please join us.
Since 1919 we have been a congregation of both United Methodists and American Baptists. Many have asked us, "How can both Methodists and Baptists worship and function together as a single church?" Our answer is a simple one. Our allegiance is first to Jesus Christ.
If you join us, you will soon see that we believe in and preach the Word of God, and our trust is placed in Jesus Christ. Our purpose is to encourage and support others around us to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
We know that showing up to a new place for the first time can be intimidating, but at WCFC it’s our desire that you feel right at home from the moment you pull into the parking lot! Our services are meant to worship God and bring us into a closer relationship with Him.
We sing a mixture of contemporary praise songs and traditional hymns. Pastor Zach Dyrda's sermons relate God's Word to our everyday lives.
Give us a try. We'd love to have you join us.
