Our Story
While on campus, Pastor Joshua Okpara started worship nights with a vision to create a safe place for students to gather together, pray, worship and be healed through the power of the Holy Ghost.
His vision was to promote Christ on campus, spreading the Gospel to the students and encouraging them to be plugged into the local believing churches. This vision led to hosting worship nights bi-weekly to 200+ students for over 3 years.
We were fortunate to serve the University of North Texas for over 3 years , and in this time period, Over 2,000 college students were converted into the faith. Some even from other religious backgrounds such as the Islamic faith. Then on April 18, 2018, God called Him to launch the Faith Filled Church that birthed out of Worship Night with a mission to reach college students and college campuses nationwide.
Our vision then morphed into building Kingdom men and Kingdom women to establish God’s purpose on the earth. Our mission is to be the solution to the worlds earthly and spiritual needs. We want to be a well grounded church that provides resources such as food & clothing banks, financial literacy, counselors and therapists, jobs, housing, etc. We want the kingdom of God to be represented here through the needs of others being met.
This vision led us to launched our “Givers initiative", with the goal to bless a community member on a monthly basis.
We started out in February of 2020 by giving away a brand new MacBook computer to a local UNT student who needed a computer and was a media arts major. Since then we have been able to offer food, clothing, rent assistance, and even bought a car for a community member in need of a means of transportation.
Partnering with local businesses, and business owners, we have been able to serve the Denton County community effectively. We have been able to host financial literacy classes at our Lewisville location, and now, through our partnership with A.W therapy, we offer free therapy sessions to our community.
Our goal is to partner with more local businesses, entrepreneurs and business owners to better serve the community, locally and internationally; preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, and winning souls for Christ.
What We Believe
The Trinity
We believe that there is ONE God, creator of all things, and eternally existing in three manifestations; Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We also believe that Jesus is true God and Man and that he died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins, according to the Scriptures.
We Believe the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify Jesus Christ, and convict men of sin, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service.
Salvation
We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and his resurrection provides the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe. We also believe in the return of our lord and personal savior Jesus Christ.
Heaven and hell
We believe in Heaven and Hell. knowing that there will be a bodily resurrection of all the dead; of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the lord, and of the unbeliever to judgement and everlasting punishment.
Baptism and Communion
As a church we believe that water baptism by immersion soon after accepting Christ as personal savior, is a testimony of death to sin and resurrection to a new life. We also believe that the Lord's Supper is a memorial service setting forth in sacred and symbolic manner the death of the Lord Jesus Christ; and all true believers should share in it.
