MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ CHAIRMAN
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus The Christ.
As Chairperson of the Faith Temple COGIC Board of Directors, it is my joy, along with each member of our Board, to welcome you to our church and to express our heartfelt gratitude for the privilege of serving you. Our mission can be beautifully summarized in three guiding principles: faith, family, and the fulfillment of God’s purpose for our ministry. Together, these principles guide every action we take and every decision we make.
I am both humbled and honored to serve as Chairperson, knowing that this role is more than a position—it’s a calling to stand beside each of you as we journey together in grace and faith. Through the boundless love of our Father, the guidance of His Son, Jesus, and the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, we are united on a path of growth, service, and community.
As the Board of Directors, we are privileged to serve at the pleasure of our congregation, entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing the church’s business affairs. We are committed to upholding the highest standards, ensuring that Faith Temple operates effectively, is financially sound, and remains in full compliance with state and municipal regulations. It is our duty—and our joy—to steward the generous contributions of our members with integrity and care, managing all resources in a way that honors God.
We are also devoted to the care and improvement of our church buildings and grounds, ensuring they reflect the love and faithfulness of our mission. Most importantly, we strive to remain aligned with the doctrines of the Bible and our church bylaws in all that we do, recognizing that Faith Temple is God’s church, its members are His people, and we, the Board of Directors, are here as humble servants to both.
One of the greatest blessings of this role is witnessing the joy and warmth that fills our congregation. I see it in the smiles, the heartfelt connections, and the shared moments of happiness that remind us of God’s unwavering love. These are the moments that fill me with gratitude and inspire me daily. I want to thank each of you for your dedication and involvement in making Faith Temple a welcoming and joyful community. Your prayers, support, and active participation are what truly bring our church to life.
Though there is still work ahead, I am excited and encouraged by what we can accomplish together. With hearts open to His leading, we will continue to serve with compassion, dedication, and grace, trusting that each step brings us closer to hearing the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
Thank you for allowing me to serve in this capacity. I am grateful for each of you and the path we walk together in faith.
In service to God and Membership, Sister Vanetta Grier.
