Welcome to Faith

About Us

If you've been looking for a church where the Bible is preached faithfully and the people are warm without smothering you, we'd love to have you visit.


Faith Bible Church is a family-friendly, multi-generational church in Lake Charles. You'll find grandparents, parents, teenagers, and young kids worshiping together in the same room.


The worship is vibrant and upbeat, with a mix of contemporary songs and hymns each Sunday. Our gifted musicians lead in worship rather than perform.


The Word of God is opened every week, taught in a way that connects to daily life. We believe the Bible is the inerrant, inspired, and infallible Word of God, and the final authority for faith and life.


You'll be welcomed, encouraged, and uplifted. If that sounds like the kind of church you've been looking for, come see us Sunday.

What We Value

We're committed to living out the values of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our mission is to love God, love others, and share the good news of Jesus.


Love

Loving God and loving people is the foundation of everything we do. It's the first commandment, and it shapes how we treat each other.


Worship

Worship is how we respond to who God is. We sing, pray, and open the Word together every Sunday.


Service

Faith doesn't end at the church door. We serve our neighbors and meet needs in our community as a way of living out the gospel.


Evangelism

Faith doesn't end at the church door. We serve our neighbors and meet needs in our community as a way of living out the gospel.


Discipleship

Following Jesus is a lifelong process. We help each other grow in the Word, in prayer, and in the kind of life that reflects Him.


Stewardship

Everything we have comes from God. We try to be wise stewards of what He's given us, using it to meet the needs of the church and our community.


Unity

We're a family with one purpose. We come from different backgrounds, but we stand together because of what Jesus has done.


Holiness

God calls His people to lives that look like His. We pursue holiness not to earn anything, but because we belong to Him.


Mission

Jesus told His followers to make disciples of all nations. That mission shapes what we do here in Lake Charles and beyond.

Our Beliefs

We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in living them out as a church family.

Read our full doctrinal statement
  • The Bible

    We believe the Old and New Testaments are the inerrant, inspired, and infallible Word of God. The Bible is the final authority for everything we believe and how we live.

  • God

    We believe there is one God, who exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He's all-powerful and all-knowing.

  • Jesus

    We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and lived a sinless human life. His death on the cross paid for our sins. He physically rose from the dead three days later, conquering death and sin. He appeared to His disciples and ascended into heaven, where He is now exalted at the right hand of God.

  • Holy Spirit

    We believe the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. He inspired the Scriptures. He convicts people of their need for Jesus and brings them to salvation. At the moment a person trusts Christ, He baptizes them into the Body of Christ. He empowers believers and the church for worship, evangelism, and service.

  • Humanity

    We believe God created man in His own image. The sin of Adam, the first man, marred that image and created an eternal divide between God and humanity.

  • Salvation

    We believe the only way to have a true, forgiven relationship with God is through Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Salvation is offered freely to anyone who accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior. It's a free gift received by faith alone through God's grace alone, not by anything we do. Once received, it becomes the permanent possession of the one who receives it. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ.

  • The Church

    We believe the church of Jesus Christ is a local body of believers, on mission to enlarge God's kingdom by making disciples of all nations. The local church is autonomous, free of external authority or control.

  • Ordinances

    We believe Jesus instructed His followers to remember His death and resurrection. He gave the church two visible symbols, or ordinances, as reminders: baptism and the Lord's Supper.

  • Christ’s Return

    Wear whatever you'd wear to meet a friend for coffee. The music is singable, with a mix of contemporary songs and hymns. The message is from the Bible. No one will put you on the spot, and no one's going to ask you to stand up and introduce yourself.

  • Prayer

    We believe prayer is how we talk with God, both personally and as a church. Through prayer we seek His guidance, ask for His help, and grow closer to Him.
