Please Note: Anthem Growth Year is not limited to those who attend Faith Community Church. For students who currently attend another church in our area, it is our desire that they receive training during the week and be sent back into ministry at their home church. We encourage students of other churches not to serve at Faith Community but instead to work with the leadership at their home church to choose an area of emphasis where they can be trained and serve. We allow for flexibility in our weekly schedule for students to return to their home church for weekly service opportunities as well as participation in the Sunday services.
