The Letter to the Philippians
What does it look like for a church to truly live as the people of God's Kingdom? In this series through the Letter to the Philippians, we'll discover that the Christian life is more than personal faith—it's a shared life together. Paul's letter invites us into koinonia: a deep fellowship marked by unity, generosity, humility, joy, and faithful partnership in the gospel. As we journey through Philippians, we'll explore how the good news of King Jesus shapes not only our individual lives but also our common life as a church, calling us to become a community that reflects the love, character, and mission of God's Kingdom in the world.

We all experience the "ups and downs" of life. Paul told the Philippian church that those low periods in life that we might call suffering are actually signs to the rest of the world that that God is in control. His power and grace in our lives shows that we can rise above and conquer whatever life can throw at us.

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.
