Our church seeks to be unified in the “major” things and allows for differing opinions in the “minor” things. Jesus said that the world would know that we are His because we love one another and because we are one. John 13:35; John 17:21-22 This church has people with many different backgrounds, but we are unified in Jesus Christ to reach the Lost. Christ’s church has been divided too long. We are more interested in glorifying God than arguing over non-salvation issues. “How can we agree rather than disagree?” is a very important question we seek to answer. “How can we apply the truth of scripture in a way that shows love for our Father and love for one another so that Jesus is glorified in all we do?” more

Strife and Division in the Church
It is a fact of life that we will always come in contact with people who have opinions and viewpoints that are different from our own. People will almost always do and say things which we ourselves believe to be improper and unjust.

Membership
There are two ends of the membership spectrum within the Body of Christ. One end of the spectrum is a membership that is very loose, and has no real definition or accountability. The other end is one in which membership is used as a tool for the church to lord over its parishioners and attempts to control their daily lives and workings within the church. It is the latter that has disenfranchised many from fully embracing the idea of membership within the church. The hope of Faith and Victory’s membership implementation program is to use this as a means by which God’s people may enter into a deeper commitment to the Body of Christ, and be able to fully experience the benefits of being connected and accountable to a local church. more
