Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain.
Psalm 125:1

In 1971-1972 a small group of ladies met to purposely pray for a new evangelical work in Hampton. God answered their request with a weekly Bible Study group which met in homes on Wednesday evenings. In January 1973, three of the couples felt led to begin organizing an evangelical work with the result being the beginning of Faith Baptist Church. This body of believers met for its first service in the Farm Bureau Building south of Hampton in March of 1973. There were seventeen people in attendance including the speaker who was a student from Bethel Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. The church aligned itself with the Baptist General Conference and gratefully accepted the Waverly Baptist Church as its mother church.

In August 1973, Pastor Ron and Priscilla Saari arrived to be the first pastor and wife. The church began to grow. A charter was drawn up and signed by 34 persons in March 1974. The following are the charter members; Daryl Aaron, Vonn Aaron, Kathy Boots, Larry Boots, Tim Boots, Guy Cameron, Pauline Cameron, Ann George, Denny George, Jim Green, Joyce Green, Kimberly Green, Henry Harms, Ruth Harms, Linda Hoogestraat, Ron Hoogestraat, Ann Koenigsberg, Dave Koenigsberg, Frances Koengisberg, Harry Koenigsberg, Jane Koenigsberg, Jon Koengisberg, Karen Koenigsberg, Melvin Koenigsberg, Tom Koenigsberg, Judy Maifeld, Ron Maifield, Jennie Moore, Joan Moore, Ray Moore, Floy Nelson, Priscilla Saari, Ron Saari, David Voy, and Denise Voy. This charter led to the need for a permanent facility. So work was started building a church on 5 acres of land. This land which was provided by God was on the east edge of town; where the church is still located today.  In July of 1975, the church was moved into; at the time the church was averaging an attendance of 70 people.
