We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God; that there is one Lord, one Faith, and one Baptism; and that the name of the Lord is JESUS. In order to obtain salvation, we believe an individual must be born of the water and of the Spirit by being baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sin and being filled with the Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking in other t
ongues as the Spirit of God gives the utterance. Posey as founder and pastor. The church began with only five members, but over the years has experienced not only growth in membership, but also in ministry. Currently, the church broadcasts weekly on radio and television stations in the Columbus area, the U.S.A, and the world. Under the leadership of now Bishop Posey and First Lady Tracey Posey, Living Faith has maintained a stable presence in the Columbus community. Through its development arm, MiraCit, the church has taken bold steps to carry out its vision – to build a “model city within a city” – where Christ is the focus. Housing projects include Hegemon Crest Phase I and II, Mariemont Place, the Mock Road apartments, and Seniors at Hegemon elderly housing complex. Other projects have included FCI Academy (a K-12 Community School), Green View Estates (the first “green” community in Columbus, Ohio), and Save-a-Lot Food Store (the first African American-owned Save-a-Lot store in Ohio). Other properties and projects include the FCI Resource Center and the FCI, Too! At the heart of the vision, however, lies Faith Center International, Phase 1 of which is now complete. The 38,000 sq. multipurpose facility features state-of-the art classroom and office space, a technology lab, as well as an audio-video recording suite, and beautiful auditorium. Future phases will complete the vision which includes a 5,000 seat sanctuary, banquet hall, and expanded educational and recreational facility. Dr. Posey’s far-reaching ministry has taken him to minister in such places as Israel, Venezuela, Italy, England, Germany, France, and Dominican Republic to name a few. The church’s vision and mission is global in focus, reaching out to people from all nations, races, and cultures with God’s Word, that we may be fit for His “spiritual kingdom."
