Does that mean Faith comes by hearing what the Spirit says to the Church and that hearing by the Word of God?

Word of God.
Romans 10:14 - How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

No. Faith comes by hearing the word of God (Bible). How can you have faith in something without knowing what that something is?

Romans 10:13-17, KJV --
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
So we see faith comes by hearing the word of God, and this from those sent forth to preach the good news of the Kingdom. That is why Jehovah's Witnesses come to your homes, in obedience to the command of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 24:14; 28:19, 20)
To have the faith that leads to eternal life, one must have accurate knowledge of Jehovah, the only true God, and of his Son whom he sent forth, Jesus Christ. - John 17:3
