The Apostle Paul wrote these words to the Church in Ephesus, in Ephesians, Chapter One, verses 2 through 4, “Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: (KJV) As we embark on this spiritual journey, we want to give thanks to God for this opportunity and to Pastor Rattler as the founding Pastor of Christian Faith Missionary Baptist Church. Pastor Rattler with the help of the Lord has laid the foundation for the growth and development of CFMBC and as the new pastor, we have been charged not only to continue the growth and development of our current congregation, but to win new souls to Christ by the preaching and teachings of his word. I believe that God is pleased when his name is glorified, the saints are edified, and the body is unified. I want to thank my wife, Angela and my children for sharing this ministry experience with me. Our family has grown to include our sisters and brothers in Christ, and we welcome each and every soul that God chooses to include in the Christian Faith family. The Bible states in Matthew, Chapter twenty, verse 4; Jesus charges us, “Go ye also into the vineyard and whatsoever is right I will give you.” We have chosen the slogan, “Where the truth comes first” because we want to spread the gospel of “TRUTH” in the spoken word and our teaching ministries. In closing, we solicit your prayers and support for what God is going to do in this part of his vineyard. We encourage you to join us on Sundays for our celebration worship services, or during the week in our prayer and teaching ministry opportunities. My sincere prayer is that God richly bless each and every one of you. Pastor Timothy R.

As Christian believers we are led by the Holy Spirit which dwells within each one of us. According to the Bible in Ephesians Chapter 4 verse 11, the New Testament Church is governed by Pastors and Teachers. The following depiction is our spiritual understanding of proper Church administration. CFMBC 6 CFMBC MINISTRIES CFMBC 7 And Jesus came and spake unto them saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28: verses 18-20 (KJV) Once you have accepted Jesus, Christ as your Lord and Savior, it becomes the duty of every Christian to develop themselves into the new creation God expects them to become. He says old things will pass a way and we will become new. Building Bridges is the adult Christian education ministry at Christian Faith. We encourage our members and friends to come and see the impact of consistent Bible study on your life.

Live a powerful not powerless Christian life. CFMBC 8 ________________________________________________________________________ “Train up a child in the way he (she) should go: and when he (she) is old he (she) will not depart from it. Proverbs Chapter 22, verse 6 (KJV) The NOW GENERATION, with the invention of the internet and the World Wide Web, our youth and children are bombarded with information, but what is the real TRUTH? We as Christians have a responsibility to live with a Godly moral standard. We hear terms such as “politically correct”, we see television and movies created for main stream viewing audiences but where and how are the Christian values taught? This is where RIGHTEOUS ROYAL REBELS comes in, as a Christian parent(s) we need tools and places to teach and demonstrate the moral standard of Christianity. At Christian Faith our youth ministry has been designed to challenge our youth and young adults to take their cues from the Bible. We have the number one best seller of all times, the Bible as the centerpiece of any and all discussions. CFMBC 9 ________________________________________________________________________ “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Matthew Chapter 4:18,19 (KJV) What does it mean to be a MIGHTY MAN OF GOD? How do I learn to be the priest in my home? If I am a spiritual king what duties and responsibilities do I have? Am I really supposed to bring others to the Lord? The Bible teaches us to “run this race with patience looking to God who is the author and finisher of our faith” Hebrews 12:2. In the transformation process from sinner to saint, men have biblical examples of God fearing men. But men must be willing to submit their lordship to the Lordship of Christ Join us at Christian Faith as we transform ourselves from the pattern of the world to the plan and promises of God. CFMBC 10 ________________________________________________ Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Genesis Chapter 2:24 From the creation of time, marriage as defined by the Bible is a union between one man and one woman. The bond of marriage is to become so strong that the relationship would take precedence over the bond between a father and his son, or a mother and her daughter. This union is the centerpiece for the family, the passing of human traits, physical, mental and spiritual. Come study with us at Christian Faith the methods of developing a strong marriage and a true husband and wife relationship as defined in the Bible. Learn the messages as spoken in Ephesians Chapter5, verses 21 through 25, which says”Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;” CFMBC 11 OUTREACH Pastor Charles Z. Bassil was born in Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa.
