New Faith Church was founded as New Faith Missionary Baptist Church on February 27, 1977 under the leadership of Reverend Theodore Roosevelt Williams, Sr. with the support of 52 members. The church was established with a strong biblical foundation and fervent commitment to ministry.

Nehemiah 4:6 tells us "...for the people had a mind to work," and the early congregants of New Faith diligently pursued the cause of Christ exemplifying the idea set for in the scripture. By January 1978, the membership had grown to 142, and New Faith moved to its present location at 4315 West Fuqua. Ministries were organized designed to impact the community, and this impact led to tremendous growth and expansion of the ministry. Within two years, the membership soared to nearly 700.

An early distinction, which still holds true today, was New Faith’s ability to maintain a strong nucleus of mature adults, while still reaching and appealing to the youth and young adult population in the community. This is partly attributed to the commitment of our pastor to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ with accuracy, relevance, great passion and joyful exuberance.

Today, New Faith Church serves more than 2,000 families. Armed with the Word, a love for God and His people, a zeal for saving the lost and a gracious demeanor, Dr. T. R. Williams continues to lead this congregation with uncompromising biblical instruction under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the lordship of Christ. New ministry initiatives have been forged and continue to develop. The campus complex reflects our increase over the years and our call to Christian discipleship.

To further our community commitment, in 2005, New Faith established the Community of Faith Foundation, Inc. to serve as a community resource using a variety of educational and social service programs. In February 2007, New Faith Church celebrated 30 years of ministry. Throughout our history, New Faith Church continually strives to obediently follow the directives and mandates of God and as a result, the church has thrived spiritually and numerically.
