We Value People

We recognize the eternal value God places on every person and commit ourselves to love and care for others as humans created in His image. We further seek to fulfill Christ’s great commandment to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, and to love one another as Christ loves us (Mark 12:31; John 13:34-35).

We Value Servant Leadership

We believe that church leaders are, above all, servants of our Lord Jesus Christ. We recognize that servant leaders are to watch over our souls and that spirit filled, godly Pastors are an invaluable asset of the church (Matthew 20: 25-28; Hebrews 13:17).

We Value Christian Education for all ages

We believe that understanding Scripture is a catalyst for transforming, enhancing, and growing lives; therefore we are committed to the ministry of Christian Education as an indispensable foundational ministry that must undergird all other ministries of the church (II Timothy 3: 14-17; Psalm 1, 119; Nehemiah 8:8).

History:

At a time when the world was in an uproar about the behavior of our youth, God called a dynamic young man, Dreyfus C. Smith, into the ministry in January of 1986, during this time God’s purpose was clear and His vision for the youth was revealed to this soldier of the cross.  At a time when the youth sat in the back of the church while the older generation ruled the scene, God saw fit to call a young man who was tough enough to make a difference and strong enough to take a stand on behalf of our youth and make His vision become a reality.  His mission was clear which was to take the youth from the hands of Satan and give them an opportunity to be a part of God’s army.  Rev. Smith informed a dying world that God’s house was for both the young and the old and in order to get the youth off the streets, we must allow them to use their God-given talents in the church.

As a result of adhering to the voice of God, Rev. Smith took the leap of faith and on July 2, 1989, Wings of Faith Baptist Church was formed.  After multiple meetings in his parent’s basement, and after being embraced by their love, empowered by their prayers, and strengthened by their wisdom, Wings of Faith Baptist Church was birthed.  The first worship service was held in the chapel of Thornton Mortuary with 75 members in attendance.  It was in this place our church was founded upon the scriptures taken from Isaiah 40:31, “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up on WINGS as eagles”, and Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”.  With Jesus as our guide, we witnessed the works of the Lord manifest miraculous changes and enhancements in our lives.
