OVERVIEW
Faith Baptist Fellowship (Faith) is a multi-generational Baptist church in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, affiliated with Converge Heartland. While first established in 1979, Faith currently consists of 250 members, with approximately 400 people attending Sunday worship services. As a church, we strive to be a vibrant, healthy family of Christ-like believers, proclaiming a cross-centered gospel and living cross-centered lives. Our mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ and equip them for growth and service is guided by our 5 Loves of loving God, loving God’s word and prayer, loving one another, loving our neighbors, and loving the gospel.

Our corporate worship style is blended, congregationally involved, and biblically focused on expository preaching of Scripture with application to daily life. As a body, we are led by a team of vocational and non-vocational elders who pastor and shepherd our church while holding us true to our mission.
