Our Beginnings
Faith Community Church had its beginnings in 1952, when Pastor Fred and Sally Kirkpatrick came to Great Bend in response to a request by the Missionary Church Association of Fort Wayne, Indiana to start a church in the city. First services were held in October 1952, in a room located on the second floor of a Main Street Building. After the pastor and his wife received the Holy Spirit in the spring of 1954, the sponsoring Association decided to cancel their plans to continue the work and gave the church to the Kirkpatricks. In the fall of 1954, Faith Community Church was formally begun; however, the planting of the church was in 1952. The following years were years of trial and test, but filled with wonderful moves of the Holy Spirit, as the small church began to minister to the needs of the community and in various cities throughout the state.
Presently - Faith Community Church is located on the west side of Great Bend and is a place where people can encounter the life changing power of the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. Faith Community Church is a place where believers can belong to a family and make a difference in their community.
