We began as a vacation bible school in a house on Mangold Avenue in 1933 with 24 charter members. In 1960, land was purchased at the current site of 3800 West Rawson Avenue. The cornerstone was laid on Oct. 21, 1962 and the first service was held in May of the following year.
Faith Presbyterian Church has always been known as the little church with a big heart.
Since the turn of the century, Faith has been active in mission beyond its doors. As a part of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Faith is known for supporting mission projects. Each year, our members raise or collect thousands of dollars for national and international appeals. We also support a local Franklin school, host a food cupboard in the church for those in need, collect over-the counter medications for a free clinic, and try to answer the call for help when needed.
We offer inspiring and uplifting worship services with music that enables us all to worship God more fully.
Faith Presbyterian Church is a congregation of:
– Presbytery of Milwaukee
– The Synod of Lakes and Prairies
– The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
We are also a member of the Covenant Network.
