Fields of Faith

Fields of Faith is a peer-to-peer event where students invite their classmates and teammates to be challenged to read the Word of God and follow Jesus Christ and hear fellow students share their testimonies. An athletic field provides a neutral, interdenominational rally point where a community can come together. West Orange’s FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) is hosting the event and has invited local church youth groups and local middle schools and high schools to the event. Families are welcome to join us as well.

Our Goal is to bring many people together at one time, read Scripture and share personal testimonies, and be challenged by fellow students to read the Bible and follow Jesus Christ. It will be a time of worship with live music, games, free food and prizes! Come out and help bring the gospel to our beautiful community.
