PASTOR CHAD HOUGHTON, Family Pastor
Thank you for visiting the Faith Students webpage! My primary focus at Faith Baptist Church is our student ministry, and I love working with teenagers. God has given me a passion to see students ENLISTED to Christ, EQUIPPED as disciples, and ENGAGED in making disciples.
In March 2011, our family came to Faith Baptist Church, and we believe this is exactly where God wants us to be. We have been blessed to raise our children, Morgan and Mason, in this church and watch them grow through our children's ministry and youth ministry. My wife, Christina, and I have been married since 2001, and we are incredibly thankful for God's goodness to our family and the opportunity He has given us to serve Him here at FBC.
Our desire through Faith Students is to impact Pasco County with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe that impact starts right here at home, as we seek to reach our own students with the gospel, help them grow in their relationship with Jesus, and equip them to make disciples of others. Our prayer is that God will use this youth ministryto make an eternal difference in the lives of your student(s) and in your home.
