In 2006 Pastor Terry Booher died after a long battle with pancreatic cancer and his son Greg Booher became the Pastor of Faith Baptist Church. After his resignation in 2012, Dr. Ron Hodge became the Pastor of Faith Baptist Church.
In 2008 Faith Baptist School (FBS) joined the FCAA conference for interscholastic athletic and fine arts competition. In the first year, the girls' volleyball team made it to the state finals, and the fine arts department won 28 major awards in the state competition for fine arts. In 2013 the boys' flag football team won the Christian Character award at the state tournament.[1]
