Faith Bible Church  was started as a home Bible Study in 1981 with a group of believers yearning for a deeper understanding of the Word of God.  As this Bible Study group continued to grow, the decision was made to begin holding Sunday morning services, and by 1983 the church began meeting at the Turbett Grange Hall.  Under the leadership of Pastor Richard Burchfield, the church continued to develop in spirit and in truth and held strongly to the desire to "bring the unchanging Word to an ever changing world."  One of the early members felt the call to become a pastor and went to study at Dallas Theological Seminary, returning to take over the position of Pastor after graduation.  Through this time, the church continued to strengthen its spiritual foundation as the Lord continued to bless the ministry of Faith Bible Church, and it was soon evident that more room would be needed.  The church purchased ground at the end of 4th street in Port Royal along the Tuscarora Creek.  The fellowship broke ground in 1992 and the new church building was begun.  Each member gave of their time and talents; brick layers, electricians, carpenters, stone masons, woodworkers, painters, and helping hands.  God’s faithfulness was continually shown as the members came together to work and build, brick by brick, the physical foundation of Faith Bible Church.  Services were held in the basement of the new church building starting in 1993 while the sanctuary was completed.  The dedication service for the completed building was held on Easter Sunday of 1995.  The Faith Bible Church family has seen God’s faithful hand of blessing since its inception in 1981, and we seek His grace to remain faithful to our mission of bringing God’s unchanging Word, the message of God’s loving salvation, to this ever changing world.
