FAMILY OF FAITH COMMUNITY CHURCH
Family of Faith Community Church is called to take the Good News of Salvation to every household and every individual in the Ashburn community area. We believe you are loved by God and that He has a great purpose for your life. Our goal as a group of believers is to encourage and assist you in discovering that purpose. We are a holistic ministry serving the spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental needs of our community and our church. We attempt to be a church where anyone can establish relationships with fellow believers, be encouraged and challenged by God's word and grow in one's spiritual life. We invite you to come and join us as we experience a relevant and loving God.
Family of Faith is a member of Assemblies of God USA, a US-based fellowship of churches and ministries united around shared values, a common history and especially the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. People who need help in coming to know God, have problems in their home, or are troubled by any of a multitude of other things that keep people from being happy and fulfilled, need someone who cares. And that is the message of Family of Faith. As our name implies we believe in strong, loving families and the family of God

What We Believe
Authority of God’s Word
The Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, is inspired by God. It is the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct (I Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:21).
One true God
There is one true God who has revealed himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10,11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22).
Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare:
* His virgin birth (Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31-35)
* His sinless life (Hebrews 7:26; I Peter 2:22)
* His miracles (Acts 2:22; Acts 10:38)
* His substitutionary work on the cross (I Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21)
* His bodily resurrection from the dead (Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:39; I Corinthians 15:4)
* His exaltation to the right hand of God (Acts 1:9,11; Acts 2:33; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 1:3)
Fall of man
Man was created good and upright but by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred physical and spiritual death, which is separation from God (Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 3:6; Romans 5:12-19).
Salvation of man
Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
* Conditions to salvation. Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ (Luke 24:47; John 3:3; Romans 10:13-15; Ephesians 2:8, Titus 2:11; Titus 3:5-7)
* Evidences of salvation. The inward evidence is the direct witness of the Spirit (Romans 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and holiness (Ephesians 4:24; Titus 2:12)
Ordinances of the church
* Baptism in water by immersion is commanded in the Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized. This declares to the world that they have died with Christ and been raised with Him to walk in newness of life (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47,48; Romans 6:4)
* Holy Communion, or the Lord’s Supper, consists of the elements—bread and the fruit of the vine. It is a symbol of our sharing the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4); a reminder of His suffering and death (I Corinthians 11:26); and a prophecy of His second coming (I Corinthians 11:26)
Baptism in the Holy Spirit
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit. With it comes enduement of power for life and service (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4, 8; I Corinthians 12:1-31). It is distinct from and subsequent to the new birth (Acts 8:12-17; Acts 10:44-46; Acts 11:14-16; Acts 15:7-9).
Church and its mission
The Church is the body of Christ of which each believer is a part (Ephesians 1:22, 23; Ephesians 2:22; Hebrews 12:23).
Ministry
A divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry is for the threefold purpose of leading the church in: evangelizing the world (Mark 16:15-20); worshiping God (John 4:23,24); building a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son (Ephesians 4:11,16).
