What is FAITH?


FAITH is a Sunday School Evangelism Strategy designed to reach out to the people of Pickens and the surrounding area. FAITH operates twice a year, one 8 week session in the Fall and one 8 week session in the Spring.

How it Works

Teams are generally composed of one team leader (someone has completed at least one semester site and knows the ropes) and two learners from the same Sunday school class or department as their team leader. This type of team formation is important because there will be occasions to visit members of the team's Sunday school class to meet a need or to visit potential members for their class.

 

Teaching time begins at 6:00 PM as everyone goes to their appropriate level of instruction. FAITH Basic training is taught by Pastor Mike. Teams come together at 7:00 PM to make the final preparations for the evening planned visits. The next hour and a-half is on-the-job training as Divine appointments for evangelistic and ministry opportunities. For the first semester, "learners" watch and listen as the team leaders give most of the FAITH presentation.

Teams return to the at 8:30 PM for a celebration time with team members sharing the exciting aspects of the evening's visits.

 

Been There, Done That?

If you've already been trained in FAITH, there's more in store for you. Not only are you needed as a team leader, but there are other discipleship opportunities available. For returning FAITH participants we will be offering an eight week course on FAITH and Prayer. The advanced FAITH track will begin at 6:30 following the beginners Basic track.

 

Summing Up

FAITH encompasses eight weeks of training. It is our desire that everyone who starts FAITH finishes FAITH. Your performance is not what qualifies you. Being FAITHful to the finish does. If you have to miss a week or two, your team leader will help you get caught up with missed assignments. This is a team effort to glorify God and advance the kingdom while strengthening the body . There is no higher calling of service for the Christian.

No Fear

Many say they are afraid to witness, but FAITH is one of the best ways to learn how. You are given the method, you don't have to go it alone, and the vast majority of visits you make will be members and/or people who have already visited Lakeview. It cannot get any easier than that! Have FAITH you can do it! Pray, pray, pray! See what God will do as you follow Him as a "Fisher of Men."

The Fall Faith Track begins August 8th-September 26th.
