About Us

The purpose of the College & Young Adult Ministry is to develop young adults to be World Visionary, World Impacting, Disciples makers wherever they go in life. Our desire is to see young adults in this generation become so in love with the Lord Jesus Christ that for the rest of their lives, whether it be on the mission field or in the office, they are impacting the world for Christ daily with how they live their lives.

Meet Our Staff

Stephen Brannon - Associate Pastor Young Adults & Outreach

stephenb@myfaithbaptist.org

I moved to Memphis in August of 2007 from Fort Smith, Arkansas. I am married to Becca, the girl of my dreams! In my role as Associate Pastor, I have the privilege of serving college students, young adults, and young married couples age 18 – 35. My passion is to see these in my generation become believers, function as believers, and mature as believers during a very important and exciting time in their lives.

I have my Bachelor’s of Arts degree from the University of Arkansas Fort Smith and my Masters of Divinity from Mid America Baptist Theological Seminary. I absolutely love spending time with Becca and family at the lake, playing golf with my best friends, and everything Razorbacks. Oh, and don't forget to join me for Faith 21, our new ministry for 21-30 year olds!

Josh Sinquefield – College Associate

joshs@myfaithbaptist.org

I moved to Memphis in 1994 from Orlando, Florida when my dad took the position of Pastor at Faith Baptist Church. I have grown up here and I love this city. I am married to Erin, the most wonderful girl in the world! I have a passion for leading others in discipleship relationships to be more in love with Jesus Christ. In my role as College Associate, I get the opportunity to serve students in this capacity and challenge them to grow in their personal walk with Jesus.

I love being a part of our College Connection class on Sunday mornings and The Vine on Wednesday nights. I am blessed to serve others in domestic and foreign mission endeavors. I am currently a student at Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary.

We know there are a lot of fantastic Young Adult Ministries in the area. The truth is, we believe that who you serve and worship is so much more important than where. God is doing some amazing things in this city and in our community. We would absolutely love for you to join us as we serve, love, and grow together. Faith Baptist Church (901) 386.4785

Small Groups

The modern church as we know it has always done a great job of delivering a message from God’s Word that is both applicable and powerful.  But the truth is we grow not only in our walk with God but also in our Christian community through small group Bible studies.

We have two College & Young Adult Bibles studies a year – spring and fall.  A typical study looks like a group of likeminded young people meeting in someone’s living room, opening God’s Word, sharing from their hearts, and growing in their faith.

Most small group studies are on Tuesday nights and start at 8:00.  Girls meet in one home, guys in another.

Fall 2011’s Bible study: Remembering the Forgotten God by Francis Chan

Spring 2012’s Bible study: The Reason for God by Timothy Keller

Connection Class

College Connection Class is an opportunity to meet in a laid-back, friendly environment on Sunday mornings. Each week, dedicated Connection Class leaders lead college students through passages of Scripture in thought-provoking and applicable ways.

We meet in room 206/207 at 9:15. Free donuts and coffee. Everyone welcome. Current Connection Class Study: Life – Barbarians, a call into uncharted faith

The Vine

Wednesday Nights 8:00pm

Room 204/205

Incredible worship combined with life changing Bible study creates an opportunity for us to remain close to God on a weekly basis as we live lives that abide in Him. The Vine is a great place to meet new friends and engage in healthy community and also to be challenged in your walk with Christ and encourage you to grow weekly in your faith.

On any given Wednesday night, you will find a room full of twenty-somethings who are either students or college-age gathered in community. Typically, fellowship begins around 7:45 with free pizza and drinks. Worship and Bible study usually ends around 9:15 with fellowship continuing in small groups all over the city.

Faith 21

This in home Bible community is a place for spiritual growth and authentic fellowship.
Down the road, as God will lead and guide us, we plan to begin small groups within the home. This generation thrives on discussion and personal growth through community - these small groups inside Faith21 will be lead by a small group leader and center on one question based on our Bible study.  As those groups solidify as a community, we pray God will extend Faith21 into other homes around the city.

We meet every Sunday night from 7:30 - 9:00 at the home of Stephen and Becca Brannon.
