Face to Face Church Inc (FTFCi) was formed because of the growing spiritual needs of the church for which, we, as a foreign foundation before, limit us in providing members church services.
The idea came when our eldest member Esther Ariemma passed away in 2003. Her son requested Bro. Fernando Bartolome, who was then a branch manager of Charismatic Outreach, a foreign foundation, to officiate the funeral service. Much to his regret, Pastor has to declined the request because he was not authorized to do so.
The incident became an instrument for Pastor Fernando together with Pastor Jesse Licardo and Pastor Fely Hernandez to establish the church. On October 4, 2007, Face to Face Church Inc. (FTFCi) was incorporated in the State of California. It is approved and recognized as a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit religious organization by the Internal Revenue Services.
The establishment of the church gives us the opportunity to expand our mission of gathering God's faithful servants and also enabling our Pastors to preach, teach, officiate weddings, dedications, funeral services, communions, water baptisms, etc.
To date, FTFCi have branches in Northern California at 7080 Mission St. Daly City CA 94014, Brgy. San Isidro Botolan, Zambales Philippines & Brgy Pagas, Nueva Ecija. We also have regular online/in person bible study, prayer meetings and outreaches in Southern & Northern California and the Philippines.
