Faith is a town in Rowan County, North Carolina, incorporated in 1903. The population was 695 at the 2000 census. Since 1946, the town has hosted a Fourth of July celebration that has become notably large for a town of its population - running for several days and drawing visitors from many states. The Faith Fourth achieved national visibility in 1992, when President George H. W. Bush not only made a speech praising small town virtues, but also participated in the traditional Fourth of July softball game.
