In 1992, Faith Builders purchased the old Randolph school building in Guys Mills, PA for $50,001. But would students come? Would donors give enough to make the facility useable? No one knew.

Thirty years later, those questions are answered. We've experienced God's faithfulness and His people's generosity. Our terms and events are full to capacity, demonstrating that Faith Builders is meeting needs in churches and schools in the conservative Anabaptist community.

We are preparing for the next thirty years by taking two significant steps of expansion to serve the ongoing needs of our communities. First, we are constructing a new Resource Group building. Second, we're planning an FBTI Expansion for the center section of the building.
