  • The Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center will have the Donor Coach in the parking lot beginning at 8 am. Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are always welcome. To speed things up, complete your Health History Interview before you arrive. It’s a small step for you, but a giant leap for someone in need.

  • New around here? Visiting? Meet Pastor David in the Narthex at 10 am and head over to room 106. Pastor David will discus what makes Faith UMC special. 

  • As we approach graduation season, we want to make sure we recognize and celebrate all the incredible seniors in our church family on May 11. If you or someone you know is graduating this year, we’d love to include them in our upcoming celebration. Email Student Ministry Director, Emmie Howard, for more details.

  • Mark your calendars for Sunday, May 18, as we celebrate an incredible milestone in the lives of 10 amazing students. During the 9 am service, these students will take a powerful step in their faith journey through the sacred rite of Confirmation.


    We invite our entire Faith family to surround them with love and support as they say “yes” to a life of discipleship.


    After the service, join us for a 10 am reception in the Community Room – a time to share hugs, high-fives, and maybe a cinnamon roll or two (we won’t judge).


    Then at 11 am, the students will be formally recognized during the second service. Let’s fill the sanctuary and show them how proud we are.
