Church History - 40 years and Growing!

Faith Baptist Church was organized as an independent, fundamental Baptist church in July, 1967. Pastor Bennie Moran had ten people attend the first service which met in his own home in Westover, West Virginia. At the time, there were no fundamental, independent churches in Morgantown. Two months later, the congregation began meeting at the Westover Community Building where services were conducted for the next seven years. These were years of both spiritual and numerical growth.

In 1973, the church moved to Richard Avenue. The church would remain there for more than twenty years. Groundbreaking for our new building, located on Green Bag Road, was in the spring of 1994. The move from the Richard Avenue location to the Green Bag Road building occurred in June, 1995. The formal building dedication service was in September, 1995.

Faith Baptist Church has been the home of Morgantown Christian Academy since the school's beginning in 1978, Starting with just three kindergarten students, the school grew to enrollment of students in grades K-8. In the fall of 2006, the Morgantown Christian Academy High School began, and with it, construction of a building to house the high school classes, and an expanded school and church library.
