Get To Know Me:
Hi! I’m Nikki and I grew up in church but never really understood the deeper meaning of being a Christian. In 2024, that changed! I was in jail and completely broken down. That’s when I met some wonderful ladies that not only brought God to the jail but they helped me grow in my faith once again. They taught healing and grace from the scriptures. During this time God started calling me to lead others to healing through His word.

In July 2024 Faith In Action Ministries was born. Since the start we have focused on an online ministry so we could reach people in our community and outside of it.
Our goal is to help everyone overcome all the things that weigh them down and hinder the potential of what God has created us to be.
I know the power of transformation that God can have on a person, as I am proof that He can change anyone and use them for His need!

Calling to this Soul Center:
The calling to this type of Soul Center is based on my own life experiences with brokenness and addictions. As a DV Advocate I also know how Faith can help improve the trauma response after suffering abuse.

Who we serve:
We serve anyone that has an interest or need for Jesus in their lives.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another” -Proverbs 27:17

In the Faith In Action Ministry we believe in meeting people where they are in their journey and relationship with Jesus Christ.
We will make our own walk with God reproducible for those whom we mentor and teach.
We will teach our Healing Class through the Beatitudes in Matthew to promote a faithful healing and growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

Souls Involved: 1-25

First Love

In loving memory of Pastor Banner Kidd who has passed away on January 9, 2026

This gathering is not intended to grow into some impersonal large church gathering or souls who are not in relationship with each other, and especially not in relationship with the men and women tasked and gifted by God to mentor them into a submitted and committed relationship with the Spirit who is God.

Doing the work described in 1st Corinthians 5:17-21 and Ephesians 4:11-16, First Love exists to be used as co-workers with Christ in His field and building His House, the Kingdom of God – The Church – with the goal to bring in, mentor and train, and to send out to reproduce and multiply, and we have been commanded. Utilizing the resources of Christian Leaders Institute, and the many pastor elders in the community, First Love desires to be used as a facilitator of the unity of the Spirit who is God, to build His body up into the full stature of Christ to be His vessel representative and Ambassador on earth, in our community of influence.

God has raised up within His body those with these gifts for the very specific purpose of building up ourselves corporately. Christ in us, working in us, and through us, that we may become stronger and have more godly impact on each other and those who may be looking for authenticity and not “churchianity” as usual. We each have experiences and abilities to accomplish the gifted roles given in Ephesians Chapter Four, for this purpose. Be it in preaching/teaching, mentoring, pastoring, planting, watering, using music, the arts, administration, hospitality, restoration and recovery, God wants to use who we are, where we are, with the individuality of our gifting and experience, while having a reborn identity as a child of God in Christ Jesus.

First Love Soul Center desires to use the gifts of those whom God is bringing in to do our part. If you are in our area of Northeast Indiana, you may be one of them.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”- 2nd Corinthians 5:17-21

“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.” – Ephesians 4:11-16

Frontline Remnant Ministries

Frontline Remnant Ministries is a house based ministry that focuses on bringing deeper discipleship to our community through teaching, training, and action.

Our mission is to Find, Feed, and Field.
– Find: Go out into the local communities to locate and find the spiritually lost and hurt.
– Feed: Help people grow into full maturity in Christ Jesus and produce Servant Leaders.
– Field: Send disciples into the local communities to find and feed those in need.

Our desire is deeply rooted in fulfilling the Great Commission.

“And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20, ESV)

The word used for “make disciples”, means to help someone progressively learn the Word of God to become a matured, growing disciple of Christ in belief and practice. Discipleship is a lifelong process, and as Christians we need a community because it not only takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village to raise a family.

In James chapter 2 we see the author informing us that faith without works is dead. We are not saved by our works, our works are a manifestation of our salvation.

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’” (Matthew 25:31-40, ESV)

Again, we are not saved by performing good deeds and being good people. We are saved solely by the grace of God, and that grace given to us is now our responsibility to give to others on behalf of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.

We raise up disciples, to raise up disciples to fulfill the mission given by God.

Full Faith Ministries

Full Faith Ministries is about ministering to communities through evangelism outreach and connecting people to their local church. We bring worship and the sharing of the word through conferences, revival meetings, and other special community events. We also have a local church, and we are developing a community center where people can come and have their needs ministered too, as well as providing an opportunity to “hang out” in a safe place. Our ministry helps those with their needs, in the areas of prayer, officiant services, bible study, and providing some assistance in their physical needs.
As we work the “great commission” in this ministry we will have 3 focus areas
1. Jerusalem- through our local church we will continue to help our outreach event coordinator and the local community leaders hold community events.
2. Judea- We will bring evangelistic revival meetings and conferences to churches and communities throughout the region.
3. Ends of the earth- We continue to serve our local church by overseeing and coordinating the international broadcast. We will also be coordinating with area ministries and assisting them with oversee missions.

Deuteronomy 31:12,13- Assemble the people- men, women and children, and the foreigners residing in your towns- so they can listen and learn to fear the Lord your God and follow carefully all the words of this law. Their children who do not know this law, must hear it and learn to fear the Lord you God as long as you love in the land your are crossing the Jordan to possess.
Proverbs 22:6- Teach the children on the way they should go, and when they are old, they will not depart from it.

Grace Harbor

The Pillars of Grace Harbor

I. Scriptural Depth: Grounding the Daily Walk
We believe that a steady walk with the Lord requires a firm foundation. Rather than surface-level readings, Grace Harbor emphasizes deep scriptural study and intentional life coaching. We provide the tools and environment for believers to move beyond basic understanding, helping men and women apply eternal biblical truths to the complexities of modern life and personal growth.

II. Chaplaincy: A Steadying Presence
Life is often turbulent, and no one should navigate the storms alone. Our Chaplaincy ministry serves as a true “safe harbor,” offering a calming, compassionate, and non-judgmental presence. From premarital counseling that prepares couples for the journey ahead to supportive care during professional transitions or spiritual doubt, our chaplains provide the emotional and spiritual support needed to find peace amidst the waves.

III. Life Moment Celebration: Honoring the Journey
Faith is not only for the difficult times; it is the heartbeat of our joy. Grace Harbor is committed to celebrating life’s milestones—from births and baptisms to marriages and personal achievements. By marking these moments in the presence of grace, we help believers recognize and give thanks for God’s hand in every season of their lives.

Our Vision
The name Grace Harbor reflects our core philosophy: a place of unmerited favor (Grace) and a place of protection and refueling (Harbor). We exist to ensure that every believer has a sanctuary to retreat to, so they may return to the world strengthened, renewed, and better equipped for their journey with Christ.
