Thoughts
What is Faith?
Faith is a strong belief in something that is not backed by any proof or evidence. It serves as a personal conviction and can be rooted in various aspects such as religion, spirituality, or personal experiences. Many individuals embark on their faith journey within a community church, where they can foster spiritual growth alongside others, including those from Deer Island.

The Power of Prayer
Prayer is a way of communicating with our Heavenly Father, embraced by members of our community church at Deer Island, it serves as a means to seek guidance, support, and strength throughout one's faith journey. This practice can be a powerful tool for coping with stress, anxiety, and difficult situations, contributing significantly to spiritual growth.
are here to support you in any need you may have that you would like prayer for. Please contact us so that we can know and prayerfully offer up your needs to the Lord.
Faith and Science
While faith and science may seem like two opposing concepts, many people in the Deer Island community church believe that they can coexist. Science can explain the how, while faith can provide the why, enriching one's faith journey and contributing to spiritual growth.
Religious Practices
Religious practices vary widely, from prayer and meditation to fasting and solitude. Deer Island Community Church encourages these practices to help individuals connect with their faith journey and enhance their spiritual growth in the Lord Jesus Christ.
(Expanded Bible) James 1:27
27 Religion that God the Father accepts as pure and ·without fault [undefiled] is this: caring for orphans and widows [2:1-13, 15-16; Ex. 22:22; Deut. 14:29] ·who need help [in their trouble/distress/persecution], and keeping yourself ·free from the world’s evil influence [unstained/unpolluted by the world; 4:4-10].
Faith and Ethics
Faith in Christ can and will provide a moral compass and guide people in making ethical decisions. Teachings like those practiced in the community church at Deer Island, have their own set of values and principles that help followers navigate their faith journey and achieve spiritual growth in Christ.
