FAC HISTORY
Pastor, Justin Teal and his family began holding weekly Bible studies in the living room of a family in Galax in June of 2021. After just a few weeks of meeting in their living room, they had outgrown that space and had to relocate to a bigger facility, the Galax Public Library.
​
​Bible studies continued at the Galax Public Library until FAC Galax held it's first official church service there on October 1st of 2023. God continued to send more precious people and lives were being changed. Its wasn't long before the library was not big enough. That's when God opened the door for our first church building of our own.
​
After only two meetings with the church board of the former, Asbury United Methodist Church, their church board decided to fully donate the church property to FAC Galax! We began having services in our new building in March of 2024. God continues to send people of all backgrounds and ages into the church and we are witnessing miracles, signs, and wonders.
​
FAC Galax has great vision for the church moving forward in the weeks, months, and years to come. We cannot wait to see what He will do in and through us next. If you want to be a part of what God is doing in our city, COME AND SEE...

Statement of Faith
What is Apostolic?
​
To be “Apostolic” means to live, teach, preach & follow after the doctrine of the apostles and prophets according to the word of God. (Ephesians 2:19-22) First Apostolic Church of Galax is Apostolic in doctrine and Pentecostal in experience.
​
Why Apostolic?
​
The apostles, whom Jesus (God in flesh) hand-picked and chose personally received instruction from Him during His earthly ministry and was taught by Him how to build His church, and prepare his bride to be ready. They walked with Him daily and received revelation of who He was and what they were supposed to be doing. And as Jesus was preparing to leave this world, look to what He told the Apostles in Luke 24:46-49, and also in Acts 1:8. And that is exactly what they done. These men, being taught by God Himself in flesh (1 Timothy 3:16), went forward, beginning in the book of Acts, to build the church not through traditions, but being led by the Spirit of God in power and demonstration (Romans 8:14 & 1 Corinthians 2:4). Peter who was one of the apostles, was given the keys to the kingdom by Jesus in Matthew 16:18-19 and after being filled with the Spirit of God in Acts chapter 2 stood up, having the other apostles with him, and preached the first church message of salvation (Acts 2:37-40) having been given those keys and trusted by God Himself to deliver it. These men then went on to preach Jesus everywhere they went and built the “Apostolic Church”. You can find this in the book of Acts, the “acts of the apostles”. They went on to write the epistles which were letters to the churches they helped to build, to instruct them on how to live, being led by God to write what saith the word of the Lord. (2 Timothy 3:14-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21)
​
The Apostles Doctrine
​
The Bible teaches that there is only one way, and that way was taught to the Apostles by Jesus and taught by the Apostles to the church. That same message is still alive and works today (Joel 2:28-29 & Acts 2:16-18) and is being preached at First Apostolic Church of Galax through the word of God. As a matter of fact, in several places it states that we would be accursed if we preach any other doctrine.
John 14:6-7, Ephesians 4:4-6, Acts 4:12, Galatians 1:9, Ephesians 2:20, 1 Timothy 1:3
