Vision for FBC Covington–
Our church serving as a lighthouse for the community, meeting the needs of hurting families, bringing the love and forgiveness of Christ to the broken, and above all honoring God at all times.
Philosophy of Ministry:
It’s all God’s ministry, we are called to be good stewards of the responsibilities He has entrusted to us.
Life Verse:
“Your attitude should be the same as that of Jesus Christ: Who, being in the very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death–even death on a cross!”
Philippians 2:5-8
