At worship on Sunday, September 9, 2012 we announced the permanent name for our church: FaithPoint Lutheran Church!
The background on the name was shared. In summary, this church was founded by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and on the authority of His word. The point where we put our faith into action is where our church comes to life. Through God’s grace we live our mission – Love Each Other, Learn His Word and Shine His Light.
Before he made the announcement, Pastor Steve explained the reason for the change. “A year ago when this new church was forming, the founding group felt strongly that the permanent name had not yet been given to them, that God had not revealed that piece. It was decided to go with a temporary name, one that reflected our community, but not necessarily all that we are intended to be,” said Pr. Trewartha.
“Our church family has come together and grown tremendously over the past year, and while the majority of the congregation is from New Prague, we also have many people joining us from several surrounding communities,” said Pr. Trewartha.
“Our new chosen name, FaithPoint, not only removes any geographical definitions, it also more aptly describes what God has created in this new church, a family of believers who are bound by a common faith and come together in worship and to serve others in His name.”
We will also launch our new website this week. Our new web address is: www.FaithPointLC.org.
