Favored 1 Ministry was founded in 2016 with a simple calling: Glorify God through teaching, service, and community.
Everything we do is grounded in the authority of Scripture. We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God—fully trustworthy and without error in all that it affirms. It serves as the final authority for all matters of faith, doctrine, and Christian practice. Our teaching, decisions, worship, and daily lives are shaped by its timeless truth rather than cultural trends or personal opinions.
We believe in one God who exists eternally in three distinct Persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. Each Person is fully God, yet there is only one God. This divine community of love is central to our understanding of God’s nature and His relationship with humanity. The Trinity is revealed throughout Scripture and celebrated in our worship as we honor the Father who created us, the Son who redeemed us, and the Holy Spirit who sanctifies and empowers us.
We believe that salvation is a free gift of God’s grace, received through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. Because of sin, humanity is separated from God and unable to earn right standing with Him through good works. Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, lived a perfect life, died on the cross as a substitute for our sins, and rose victorious from the dead. All who repent and place their trust in Him are forgiven, declared righteous, and adopted into God’s family. This is the heart of the gospel we proclaim (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:16; Romans 10:9).
We take seriously Jesus’ final command: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” This shapes our mission to reach our local community and the nations with the gospel, baptize new believers, and disciple them to grow in maturity and obedience to Christ. We are a sending and serving church that equips every believer to participate in God’s global redemptive plan.
We believe that genuine faith produces transformed lives. The Holy Spirit dwells in every believer, empowering us to put sin to death and live holy, Christ-like lives. This is evidenced by the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). We pursue personal holiness, healthy relationships, integrity in our work and words, and a lifestyle that reflects God’s character. Our gatherings, small groups, and ministries are designed to encourage growth in these areas so that our lives increasingly glorify God.
This foundation unites us as a community of believers who are saved by grace, rooted in God’s Word, empowered by His Spirit, and committed to advancing Christ’s kingdom. Whether you are exploring faith, returning to church, or looking for a place to grow deeper in your walk with Jesus, we invite you to join us.
