Our History

Faith Church began as Bright Clouds Christian Church in the summer of 1983 meeting in a large house on the corner of Main and South Streets in Danbury. As the years passed, the ministry moved to several locations as its growth demanded larger quarters.

In 1991, the ministry moved from a movie theater in Bethel to a new facility on Clapboard Ridge Road in Danbury. A second and larger sanctuary was completed in 1998. In June 2000, a stewardship campaign was launched to build a new Family and Community Life Center, and eventually the ministry purchased our present property in New Milford. It seemed fitting and right to express this new mandate with a name change. So, on January 1, 2004, Bright Clouds Ministries became Faith Ministries, Inc. In June 2005, the dream of a new Family and Community Life Center became a reality and the New Milford home of Faith Ministries was completed. The congregation has continued to grow and presently has a membership of nearly 3,000 and a staff of over 50. What once could only be seen with the eyes of faith is now a testimony to the power of faith in God.

Because we are a multi-cultural congregation, we launched our own Spanish services by Easter of 2009 which were quickly followed by separate Portuguese services in May of 2009.

Though the journey thus far has been filled with tremendous expectation, it is the journey yet ahead that we anticipate with even greater excitement. We will be launching our first satellite church in the Brewster, NY area in March 2010. We will continue to be a purpose-driven church that seeks to communicate the timeless truths of the gospel in a culturally creative and relevant way.
