About us

Where the Word of God brings light, and faith is made alive through salvation in Christ alone.

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 

May all we do reflect what we believe in our hearts, guided by the truth of His Word.

“Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.” Proverbs 16:3

May the work of our hands be rooted in faith, and may His Word guide every step

Faith J Works (Faith In Jesus Works) was established out of obedience to God. To make the love of Jesus visible through real, meaningful service to others. At its core, we believe that faith in Jesus does, in fact, work. Our mission is to uphold and share the truth of God’s Word, not just through speech, but through living works of faith made alive by Christ alone.

“For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.”
— Isaiah 54:9 (KJV)

Located at Milepost 21, between Mileposts 20 and 22, this property holds a unique place in the history and heritage of our local community. The area is deeply connected to local railroad history and to the events surrounding the Civil War, making it a place of both historical significance and enduring memory.

Historically, Milepost 20 is associated with New Hope Baptist Church and the center of the battlefield, while Milepost 21 marks what has long been regarded as a critical point in the landscape a natural bottleneck that played a significant role in slowing the movement of Union forces during the events of 1863.

For us, however, the significance of this place reaches beyond its history.

We believe Milepost 21 is a place the Lord has preserved and set apart for a purpose. What may appear to some as simply a historic location, we see as holy ground, a place chosen by God for such a time as this.

It is our desire to honor the history of this land while faithfully stewarding its future. We believe this place can serve as a gathering point for faith, community, remembrance, and restoration, a place where the lessons of the past meet the purpose God has for the future.

Milepost 21 is more than a location. To us, it is a place of history, faith, and hope, a place for the Lord.

Our story is inspired by a far greater story, God’s sovereign movement through history.
During the Dark Ages, the Word of God was hidden from the people because common people weren't able to read it. Light had been covered, and as Scripture says, when the light is covered, darkness reigns. But by God’s grace, during the Reformation, the light returned. The Word of God was uncovered and translated from Latin and Greek into the language of the people, so that every man, woman, and child could know the truth of the Gospel. From that point forward, the Bible was no longer bound to church hierarchy, but entrusted to the Church universal.

As the Renaissance unfolded, artists were used as instruments of God’s truth. They began depicting the newly rediscovered light of the Word in visual form. Notably, Peter Paul Rubens, who, through collaborations with printmakers and painters like Frans Snyders and Paulus Pontius, helped translate biblical revelation into masterful art. One such creation, The Garland of Fruit, symbolized the fruitful, visible testimony of God’s Word made manifest. A divine truth wrapped in beauty, bearing witness to salvation and restoration.

In England, the Word continued to spread, but not without resistance. Conflicts arose between monarchs, popes, and reformers as the truth of the Scriptures clashed with manmade religious traditions. Kings and queens both resisted and embraced reform at different times. Yet, in God's providence, this tension gave birth to a desire among believers to freely worship and obey God's Word, untainted by political control. This desire for Biblical faith over religious power led to the migration across the ocean, where a new nation could be established, founded on the truth of God’s Word and the liberty to live by it. 

America was shaped by this movement of the Gospel. Through war, trial, and revival, from the founding to the Civil War and even now God continues to preserve His Word and work change within hearts through His Grace. That same living Word is the foundation of our work today.

Faith J Works stands upon the unbroken thread of Biblical history, the enduring and unstoppable movement of God’s Word through nations, languages, cultures, and generations. We believe this work is the Lord’s doing, and we seek to faithfully follow where He leads.

Throughout history, Scripture has profoundly shaped the way people learn, understand the past, and express truth and beauty. The 1611 King James Bible marked an important moment in the history of the English language and of biblical education. As this English translation became widely used over subsequent generations, it standardize and shaped biblical formal education and laws in America. With the King James Bible the structure of education from early childhood education to college degree level. Laws of this same Book became laws for all people in America, of course now being altered in man's law. In the years following the American Civil War, education and laws increasingly engaged not only with established church traditions, but also with the written biblical text itself, encouraging a deeper engagement with Scripture as a source of truth, instruction, and understanding.

It is from this foundation that Faith J Works focuses on three interconnected areas: education, history, and art. We seek to recognize the ways Scripture has shaped learning, preserved historical understanding, and inspired generations to express truth and beauty.

We serve the Church first and extend benevolence to others, with a heart for salvation and the hope of restoration. Every part of our work, whether Gospel proclamation, service, spiritual encouragement, or outreach is rooted in Christ and His commission.
