Our Mission
Faithful Korean Baptist Church (Faithful KBC) was established on January 13, 2013, by the prayers and love of its mother church, Compass Fellowship. As Faithful KBC prepared for its planting, the church meditated on two particular passages: Isaiah 6:13 and Matthew 25: 14-30. Through these passages, we felt challenged by the remnant that was like a “holy seed” in the land, never giving up on God’s words and His covenant. We, too, developed the hope to be one of the many seeds in New York that can bear spiritual fruit and restoration back to God. We trusted that no matter how small our talents were, God would use them and simply required us to be “good and faithful servants.”
One of the ways in which we desire to stand faithfully is God’s commandment to care for and love His people. Starting from this city of New York and to the ends of the earth, we strive to share and live out the gospel in our lives. Constantly examining the questions “who am I” and “what am I running towards,” Faithful KBC prays to be a body of Christ that has the right identity and purpose before God as His people. More importantly, as we continually remind ourselves of “who is God,” Faithful KBC prays to be a church that acknowledges God as the owner of our church, our possessions, and our lives. In accordance with our name, we pray to be a church that pleases God and hears the words, “good and faithful servant.”
Faithful Baptist Church is a member congregation of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Core Values
Bible Study: As we live our lives, we find ourselves accustomed to many different voices around us. However, in order to live a life that’s pleasing to God, we need to be able to discern God’s voice. By meditating on the word of God, we are able to learn more about our God—who He is, what He likes and dislikes, and what He commands us to do. As we gain a better understanding of God through His word, we will be more sensitive to His voice and be able to discern what is right and what is wrong.
Prayer: Prayer is our spiritual breath. Just as we cannot live without breathing, a life in God without prayer is powerless and akin to dying. In order to experience and live out God’s power, we need prayer in our lives. God invites everyone to pray to Him and participate in personal prayer and prayer for His people.
Fellowship within the Family of God: God has blessed us with a new family through Jesus Christ. Just as physical ties can never be broken, the blood of Jesus unites the family of God eternally. As we serve one another and walk together in God with the same purpose, God blesses us with brothers and sisters who become our strength and encouragement to live as children of God.
