Who We Are
Faith Lutheran Brethren Church was founded in 1971 right here in Cranston, Rhode Island. Before moving to our current location (43 Scituate Ave) we worshipped at a church on Cranston Street for the good part of 3 decades.

What We Believe
​
Faith Chapel is a Lutheran Brethren church located in Cranston, Rhode Island. We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, without error, and is the final authoritative guide for faith and conduct. Our church is a community of believers who come together to worship, learn, and support one another. We offer a variety of services and activities for people of all ages, including Sunday worship, Bible studies, youth groups, and community service projects. Our mission is to share the love of God with others and help them grow in their faith.

Our Vision Statement
Led by the Spirit of God, we seek to grow as a healthy, grace-based congregation that glorifies God and proclaims Christ to our neighbors, nation and world through worship, evangelism, teaching, fellowship, care, stewardship and administration, resulting in people coming into living relationship with the Lord, participating in His mission and planting new churches.
Church of the Lutheran Brethren Statement of Core Values
While our statement of faith simply states what we believe, this statement of our core values seeks to help you understand our heart.
The Bible is central in our congregations and in our households.
The Word of God is the focus of our worship services, the textbook for our teaching ministries, and the foundation of our daly lives. Whether we are preaching, teaching, singing or just talking, we want to be people of the Word.
The Gospel is our treasure and our joy.
We want the Good News of God's grace to us in Jesus Christ to be the centerpiece of our mission. All people need the Gospel. God's children need to hear it again and again. The Good News is God's power, which saves us, draws us together and motivates us for service.
We revere God's Law.
The Law of God cannot save us, but it is necessary for our salvation. We need to see our sin and be driven to the cross of Christ for forgiveness. We need to be reminded that we cannot earn God's love or merit His blessings. We need the ethical guidance that God's Law gives. We dare not make up ur own morality.
The Word and the Sacrements are God's Previous means of grace.
The Word teaches us, Baptism washes us, and the Lord's Supper Nourishes us. In our sacramental Life together we are brought again and again to the crucified and risen Jesus Christ, who alone is the source of our salvation.
We cherish the love and fellowship of God's people.
We need each other. We need the spiritual gifts, which the Holy Spirit imparts to His people. We experience God's peace as we worship and work together, forgive one another and bear one another's burdens.
We long for people to trust in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, to come to know Him in a personal way.
We are called by the love of Christ to share His Gospel. Our mission is as local as our neighborhood and as universal as the whole world.
We seek to be people of prayer.
Whether in public worship, small groups or in our personal lives, we want prayer to be foundational. Prayer supports and propels us in our mission. We desire that prayer be as essential in our ministries as breathing is to our physical life.
Salvation Stones
Painted stones appearing everywhere to inspire, share, and lead people to Jesus. Post a photo of the stones you find and tell us where
you found it. Then, pass it along for someone else to find, and tell us where you left it.
Luke 19:37-40 New International Version (NIV)37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives,
the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:
38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”
