Faith United Church

About Us

We're the church the devil doesn't want you to know about.

Over the last few years Faith United Church has laid aside a lot of tired tradition and pompous pretense. We have no quarrel with traditional congregations and we're not putting down those who like a lot of production. We've just simplified everything so that what we're left with is an approach that is more concerned with authenticity than perfection and more focused on being relevant than growing larger. We've discovered that there are lots of folks who just want to Worship Jesus, learn from the Bible, make a few friends, and help out where they can. Maybe you're one of those folks.

Faith United Church is made up of regular, every day, "Flint-type" folks. If you're in the Flint-area, chances are you already know some of us. We live mostly in southern Genesee County throughout Flint, Grand Blanc, Swartz Creek, and Mundy Township. We are united by our common desire to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ authentically in all areas of our lives. We don't claim to be perfect, or superior. We're just trying to live what we believe by being good neighbors, raising our children well, working hard, managing our finances, and showing love and respect to everyone.

We are committed to:
- Worshiping Jesus Christ authentically.
- Learning and applying Biblical truth.
- Accepting people where they are.
- Celebrating the lives God changes.
- Sharing the love of Jesus Christ.

What to Expect

What are services like?
We're not trying to be cute or tricky, but we really like to avoid categories when it comes to the way we Worship at Faith United Church. We have a live band and a lot of Sundays our music is loud and full of energy. Other Sundays we dig into our heritage and use some of the old-school hymns of the Church. Sometimes we mix styles, or use updated versions of old songs. We also use a lot of prayer, Scripture reading, video, PowerPoint, and anything else we can think of to help us Worship in a way that we hope honors Jesus Christ.

What is the community like?
Faith United Church is a "come as you are," congregation. We're casual, but never careless. We take Jesus Christ, the Bible, prayer, Worship and serving our community very seriously ...but, we don't take ourselves all that seriously. We're simply a group of folks who are doing our very best to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. We’re not flashy or fancy, and we're not into big productions, but if you’re looking for authentic love, friendly people, relevant teaching, and a chance to pitch in and help out in the community, we might just be perfect for you. Those of us who are part of Faith United Church believe God is leading us to build a Church that is characterized by: Faith in Jesus Christ that is authentic, applying His teachings to all aspects of life, while extending Grace to those who fail and respect to those who disagree. Worship that is casual without being careless, focused on Jesus Christ, and unhindered by the traditions or expectations of people. Relationships that are strong because of the Holy Spirit within us and our common pursuit of Jesus Christ, an ever-growing and expanding fellowship. Ministries and programs that meet actual needs in ourselves and others in our community. A reputation as a place in our community where people are treated with love and respect, and given relevant Biblical truth.
