"A Serving Church - Every member is committed to
serve through exercising of his or her spiritual gifts. (Ephesians
4:11)"
The New Faith family recognizes that gifts to the church can come in a
variety of ways. They can be financial or through how you lend your
physical talents to help advance the Kingdom of God.
To enhance that gift, we recognize that education can play a part in
strengthening that foundation. The future of the church is strongly
predicated on the future of our children. For this reason, we strongly
encourage our youth to pursue higher levels of education after they have
graduated from high school. We also recognize that a college education is a
major investment, therefore we are committed to
helping make that education investment affordable.
 Let support the Youth Adults of New Faith to
accomplish better things for not only themselves, but for our church and communities.
In The fall of 1999, Pastor Randolph announced to the church a goal to
raise $10,000 before June of 2000. His intent was to award 5 children of
the church with $2,000 scholarships to help them finance college for the
year. The vision that he painted was that they would go off to college and
master skill sets that could easily be applied to the running of the church
upon their return. If they majored in finance, they would work in the
finance office of the church, or if they majored in communications, they
could work in the tape ministry office.
 In June 2000,
we awarded a total of $12,000 to 6 children. In June of 2001, we awarded a
total of $15,000 to 9 children with scholarships ranging from $1,000 to
$2,000 a piece. Our goal for 2002 is to raise $20,000 and award 10 students
with scholarships. It is vision like this that continues to fuel the growth
of the church as well as the growth of our black communities. Pastor
Randolph and the New Faith Family are committed to helping our children and
helping them to secure both the church's and their
future.
