About Troy Skinner

The Household of Faith in Christ is not a big megachurch. What’s more, we don’t intend to be. Nor do we intend to be the traditional American church, meeting in traditional looking church buildings, offering what have become the traditional church programs.The Household of Faith in Christ is a house church. This means we meet in a person’s home. We will always be a house church that meets in a person’s home. As our congregation outgrows the space inside the home, we will establish a second house church. When this second house church also outgrows the space within the second home, then a third house church will be established. Eventually we hope to have been part of spawning dozens, or even hundreds of house churches who network together in prayer, service, and mutual accountability.If you already lead a house church, or are looking to establish one, let’s connect and see how we can encourage one another and discover biblical ways of working together as we faithfully continue to walk in the truth. No matter where you’re located, it would be a true blessing to know one another and edify one another. Simply email P••••••••@protonmail.com to get the dialogue started.If you are within driving distance of Frederick, Maryland we would rejoicingly welcome you into our small gathering of Christ followers. We invest time and energy into one another. Our primary aim is to disciple believers and develop leaders equipped to proclaim and defend the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are not a church where it’s easy to hide. We seek to be deeply relational, knowing that iron sharpens iron, and we rejoice in the growth we see in one another as we increasingly exhibit the fruit of the Spirit. The first step to pursuing this sort of community is to email Pastor Troy at P••••••••@protonmail.com.

   I host the panel discussion radio show called \"The Faith Debate\" which began airing in 2004.Concurrent with this for 20 years (2001 to 2021) I developed and executed marketing plans for local and regional businesses by facilitating conversations that aid clients in better crystallizing their goals and better articulating their service to the marketplace. From there we moved to developing a specific plan for defending and growing market share. Plan included any of the following elements: on-air radio commercials, website banner ads, cause marketing initiatives, live community events, contesting, online videos, social media components, name-in-title sponsorships, personal endorsements, and a full slate of digital platform options. The aim was always to assist the client to strategically identify their signature brand position, then help design and execute persuasive campaigns in ways memorable ways to increase brand awareness and to effectively increase sales. Since each client’s situation was unique, the plan for each client was unique. Certainly, there were “boilerplate” elements available, however these were merely tools in the toolbox for customizing a fit within the client’s overall plan. Central to all of this was relationship. I believe that my primary role in working with a client was to help them initiate and strengthen their relationship with customers. In doing this we also strengthened the relationship that we had with one another. I\'ve found that mutual trust and respect leads to improved results… and it leads to improved relationships. It is very fulfilling to have so many of my longstanding business clients counted among my dear personal friends.
