Homecoming Weekend 2025

Mark your calendars for October 10–11, 2025, and join us for an exciting Homecoming Weekend at Faith! The celebration kicks off Friday evening with a spirited Area 31 Kick Off, followed by our Men’s Alumni Basketball Game (6:30pm), a special 50th Class Reunion for the Class of 1975 (7:00pm), and Women’s Alumni Volleyball Game (8:00pm).

Saturday brings a full day of fun, starting with our new Homecoming 5K run (7:00am)  followed by our Men’s and Women’s Alumni Soccer Games (9:00am) and Homecoming Market (10:00 am-1:00 pm), with vendor space still available (sign up today!). Don’t miss the Opening Ceremony before the Women’s Soccer game, then cheer on your Eagles with a packed athletic lineup: Women’s Soccer (11:00am), Women’s Volleyball (1:30pm), and Men’s Soccer (3:30pm).

We’ll wrap up the weekend with our popular Ya’Gotta Regatta Party at Crown Park, complete with food trucks, fun, games, and the traditional boat race!

It’s a weekend full of school spirit, reconnecting with friends, and celebrating what God is doing at Faith—you won’t want to miss it!
