Welcome To FaithCO
Faithco Church in Shawnee Oklahoma
Faith Christian Outreach is a Christ-led, family centered, non-denominational church. FaithCO is a passionate church serving Shawnee, Oklahoma, but surrounding cities as well. Our mission is “LOVE God, CONNECT with others, REACH the world”.
We are a contemporary church with great praise and worship, relevant teaching, vivid illustrations and life changing moments with God. Each message series is carefully designed with people like you in mind: real people looking for real answers to issues they face every day. At Faith Christian Outreach in Shawnee Oklahoma, we are teaching God’s timeless truths from the Bible that speak to where you are living today… in your family, finances, career, and your relationship with God.
OUR STORY
In 1998, Pastor Travis Hurst, began a Bible study in a performing arts studio located in downtown Shawnee, Oklahoma. The small group of believers began to grow under God’s guidance and, subsequently, praise and worship and teaching were added to each gathering. Within one year, Faith Christian Outreach had raised enough money and resources to purchase property for a new facility.
FaithCO moved to its current location just off highway 177 near I-40 in 1999. Faith Christian Outreach had its first public worship experience on April 30, 2000–Easter Sunday–in phase one of the new facility. FaithCO continues to grow and to see many people added to His Kingdom.
Our passion is apparent as we continue to lead hundreds to come to know Christ through our ministry every year.
