The mission of Faith Bible Church is to create a community of Christ followers who love God passionately, love their neighbors personally, and love themselves properly - all to the glory of God and to help others do the same throughout the world. Faith Bible Church was founded in 1978 by a group of Christians interested in establishing a Bible teaching fellowship in the Northwest Valley. Its first pastor, Tim Smith, served the congregation from its inception until 1998. During that time, the community grew dramatically and so did the church. In 1981 it successfully built the first phase of its old facilities and launched a second phase in 1989. In 1998, Dan Lind was invited to become Faith's new senior pastor after Tim's many years of service. As the church continued to grow, it became clear that its campus could not accommodate the growth. The church acquired 8.5 acres of land on 59th Avenue, just north of Bell Road. We officially opened our doors to the public on November 16th, 2008. Faith Bible Church shares its roots with a number of other Bible churches in the Valley.
