What Faith Baptist Church does

Faith Baptist Church is an independent Baptist church founded in July 1967 in Morgantown, West Virginia, by Pastor Bennie Moran with ten initial attendees meeting in his home in Westover, WV. The church relocated to a dedicated campus at 809 Green Bag Road in Morgantown in June 1995 (with formal dedication in September 1995) and has operated continuously for over 54 years. It is currently led by Senior Pastor Treg Spicer, who in May 2016 became only the second pastor in the church's history. Supporting pastoral staff include College Pastor Jason May and Youth Pastor David Pledger.

The church operates a multi-generational ministry portfolio. Core offerings include weekly in-person worship services, livestreamed services via YouTube, on-demand sermon archives on SermonAudio, a dedicated iOS/Android mobile app, and the 'Art of the Assistant' and 'Walking In Faith' podcast/video series distributed on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. Specialized ministries include Faith Kids (children's ministry PreK-6), Youth Impact (teenagers), Barnabas Kids (special needs children ages 6-15), WVU Cross Impact (college students at West Virginia University, meeting Mondays at 7PM), and a music ministry. The affiliated Morgantown Christian Academy, founded in 1978 with three kindergarten students, now operates as a K-12 Christian school on the church campus and is the church's only disclosed subsidiary.

Faith Baptist Church is a private non-profit religious organization with no parent company, no funding rounds, and no public listing. All revenue is generated through voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members, with digital giving facilitated through GivingTools (givingtools.com). Secondary revenue comes from Morgantown Christian Academy tuition. There is no proprietary technology; the church relies entirely on third-party platforms for content distribution, donations, and member engagement. The organization has no recorded M&A, restructuring, or regulatory actions, and operates as a single-campus regional entity whose digital footprint extends globally via online channels.
