PURPOSE
The purpose of our bus ministry at Faith Baptist Church is to reach the youth in our community with the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in accordance with Matthew 28:19-20. We desire to provide safe transportation to those young people that desire to attend our church but do not have the necessary transportation means.
