Administrative history
This congregation was established in 1955 by the Mission Board of the American Lutheran Church. Holy Trinity Lutheran in nearby Ephrata was a sister congregation, as several members of Faith were from that congregation. In 1956 the ALC gave a $25,000 loan for the construction of a church. Building began on April 20 of that year. Soap Lake was a boom town in the 1950s, and population is now half of what it was at that time.
