Faith Baptist Church of Corona NY

Join us this Saturday for a morning of ministry as we serve our community by sharing the gospel at a local street fair. We will be at the Woodside "Queens" Festival on Woodside Avenue for the day introducing our community to our church. If you are interested in participating, speak with Pastor Swanson or Pastor Christian. We look forward to this exciting time for our church to reach into our community with the good news about Jesus.

Join Pastor Swanson and Pastor Acosta from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. each Saturday (weather-permitting) at various locations around Queens to pass out gospel tracts and invite people to church. Check in regularly for updates on each week's location.

"Teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." Colossians 3:16

Children can learn about the importance of ministry in the local church from a young age. One way they can do that is by growing in their musical abilities. That's why we are thrilled to introduce Patch and Peewee Clubs this Fall. This special ministry will provide your children with weekly Bible lessons, fun activities, and training in music. We look forward to preparing the children of our church to minister in song during our services.

"Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12

We are excited to kickoff our ProTeens ministry for teens in 7th-12th grade. This Sunday morning Bible study will focus on many topics relevant to Christian young people. Weekly lessons will emphasize the importance of a close walk with God, a healthy relationship with parents, and involvement in the local church. Bible study groups of middle school and high school facilitate important questions and healthy conversation. Teachers will provide Bible study materials so teens can follow along during the lesson and discussion time every Sunday. In addition, we offer devotional journals and personal Bible study booklets (Milk, Meat, Bread, Fish) for teens to use throughout the week. Any teens who need these materials should contact Pastor Christian Acosta.

Our church has revamped our midweek prayer service. Rather than meeting in person at the church building, we are encouraging our church members to join an online Zoom prayer meeting. During these meetings, we will receive weekly prayer requests, sing hymns of worship, and bring our petitions to the Lord. If you are interested in participating, please contact Pastor Swanson or Pastor Acosta so they can send an invite to you. 

We are thrilled to introduce the WINGS ministry - women in God's service. All ladies are invited to attend a special fellowship time this Saturday. We will meet together at the church while focusing on important Bible topics relevant to women. Enjoy a delicious breakfast treat while being spiritually nourished as well. For more information, contact Colleen Swanson.

Join us this Saturday as the men of our church come together for a spiritually enriching time of Bible study and fellowship. We will meet at the church building to study a variety of topics helpful to men. We know you will be blessed as we gather to encourage each other and discover biblical principles for men to accomplish God's purpose for their lives. You will enjoy a light breakfast treat as well prior to our study. We look forward to seeing you there! Contact Pastor Jim Swanson or Christian Acosta for more details.

This Sunday, our church will be ministered to by the young people of our ProTeens Ministry. The teens of Faith Baptist Church and Iglesia Bautista de la Fe will serve in various ways throughout our service - in music, song leading, ushering, Scripture reading, and prayer. We look forward to seeing how our youth are being developed in our church to serve Jesus and be an integral part of his body. Pastor Swanson will share a timely Bible message during this special worship service.

"Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain who build it." Psalm 127:1

Marriage was God's idea, and he hasn't left us to our own ideas. He meant it to be a blessing, but the world has turned it into a curse, and unfortunately, his people haven't done much better. There are biblical foundations for a good marriage, and unless we build our marriages on these, our best efforts are doomed to be something less than what he intended. Joining both Christian and secular research with biblical principles that validate that research, we will learn how to place our marital relationship on the firm footing of God's way of doing marriage.

Join us for a special weekend of strengthening our marriages with time-tested biblical principles. You will enjoy some much-needed recreation, Bible teaching, fellowship with other couples, and time alone with your spouse. Sessions will focus on the importance of couples nurturing a close marital relationship and a dynamic walk with God.

guest speaker

Pastor Stephen Christopher and his wife, Ruth, have been happily married for just over 50 years. They came to Brooklyn in 1978 to assist in the ministry of Bay Ridge Baptist Church, and in 1989 he became the pastor of Memorial Baptist Church. After a third of a century at Memorial, he passed the baton. Now they are "retired," but Pastor continues to pulpit-fill and assist local churches as needed.
