Our Staff
Ray Baker
Pastor
I base my ministry on God’s abundant grace for everyone, and everyone means everyone. My role is to teach you the language of grace, so you know you’re loved just as you are. You don’t need to change before you come to church, because we will all grow together in our faith and understanding of what it means to be the hands and feet of Christ in our world.
The Spirit of Christ is alive and well in this family size church, where the people are warm and welcoming, and it’s easy to belong. Numerous people use the phrase “our Faith family” to welcome new people and to share their love for the church. This is a place where people share your thoughts and beliefs openly and listen respectfully.
Come to Faith UMC, where we receive and share the grace of Christ with Open Hearts, Open Minds, and Open Doors.

I love working at Faith United Methodist Church because the community is so involved and supportive of its leaders, and of each other. As a new member of the staff, I was apprehensive at first. As soon as I started to meet members of the congregation and got to know the community better, I settled in very quickly and it began to feel like home. The atmosphere is welcoming, attentive, and kind. I have developed many important friendships in my short time here at Faith.
