As a diverse body of believers that come to experience the
fullness of God's presence in various ways, there are many
options at FAMILY & FAITH. Read about our services below
and choose the weekend service and weekday service
that best meets your needs.

SUNDAY SERVICES

8:00 a.m. - "Morning Worship Service" | This is our more conservative service designed for the laidback, business-minded, or professional individual. The musical portion of this service is provided solely by our Praise Choir, immediately followed by Pastor Mark Smith as he brings forth an anointed Word "fresh out of the oven." If you enjoy a more reserved service with a lot of teaching, then this service is perfect for you. Many of our seniors, business executives, professional athletes, and those who like the idea of being done with church by 9:30 am and having the rest of Sunday to themselves, really enjoy this service.

10:00 a.m. - "Spanish Speaking Service" | Because we are a church of the nations, we provide a full service that ministers directly to the Hispanic Community. Our Lead Associate Pastor, Miguel Perez, leads this service. It's a must attend for families who speak Spanish. We positioned this service in "Prime-Time" hours, because we are committed to raising up a generation of believers in the Hispanic community. This service ends by 11:30 a.m.

12:00 p.m. - "Mid-Day Worship Service" | This is what we call our "crazy" service. It is designed for the person who works hard all week and just doesn't want to wake up early on Sunday. Our Praise and Worship Team and Praise Choir (The Tribe) sings, and since it's our late service, Pastor Mark normally lets them sing until they lose their minds. It's awesome!

In this service, Pastor Mark is usually much more free and takes a lot of risks in his preaching, so as to appeal to the younger crowd on a level where they can easily understand. Because he does not have the time constraints of the two earlier services, you never know how the Spirit will move at this contemporary, high energy service. This service appeals primarily to a younger crowd who attend to hear a relevant Word that is easily understood. Embracing his commitment to evangelism, Pastor Mark really goes after lost souls in this service. If you are a seasoned saint and have been seriously studying for a while, we would highly recommend that you attend one of our earlier services. This service usually ends between 1:30 and 2:00 p.m.


5th Sunday's "Nothing But Praise!" @ 6:00 p.m. Once a quarter, Pastor Mark and The Tribe offer a service that is just for people who are serious about their praise and their worship. This service includes guests from around the city and country and is complete with a Word of exhortation, our famous "Prayer Tunnel" and personal ministry. Sometimes other ministers from Family & Faith or men and women of God from around the country minister a Word of exhortation and deliverance. Pastors, Worship Leaders and Members from other church in the city come and find this service a source of encouragement and strength.

1st - 4th Sunday Evening:
NOW GENERATION STUDENT MINISTRIES
From 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Junior and Senior High Students meet for worship, ministry, teaching and small groups. The purpose of this ministry is to raise up a generation of young leaders passionate about God, serving and leadership. There is also an educational component to this ministry that offers tutoring, and homework assistance.


MIDWEEK SERVICES

Tuesday Night English Bible Study @ 7:00p.m.
& Thursday Night Spanish Bible Study @ 7:00p.m.

We believe that Sunday morning should be geared toward winning the lost, and although it is important to grow the saints, many visitors attend service on Sunday and we do not want to minister over anyone's head. With that in mind, our Pastor Mark firmly believes that Sundays are for inspiration and revelation, but EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT we get our spiritual information. Do not rob yourself of the opportunity to take advantage diving deep into God's Word and going from experience (Sunday) to application (Tuesday). Our Pastor has often said that he honestly enjoys Tuesdays more that Sundays. We operate on an "every other week" schedule, because we share this night with our Spanish Speaking members, who meet for their bible study on the alternate Tuesday. Remember, the crowds come on Sunday, but those who want even more fight their way out every other Tuesday.

Service Specifics: The altar is open for prayer at 6:00 pm for those who need some time to lay out before God. At 6:30 pm, our intercessors begin to go forth in corporate prayer, and service begins at 7:00 pm sharp. Because we respect your time, service normally lets out no later than 8:30 pm, so that you and your family will have time to prepare for the next day.
