ALL ARE WELCOME!!
MEET THE PASTORS:
Meet the Family:
Senior Pastors: Josh & Kelly Frieden
Hi! We are the Frieden Family. Our family consists of three beautiful daughters (Aubrey, Anna, and Ayla). Pastor Josh grew up in Faith Chapel Church under the teaching of Pastor Yohe. He has always believed the church's job is to equip the saints to do the work of the ministry. This belief has led him to become not only a leader of the Faith Chapel Church congregation but also in business and local government. He could not do it without first the Holy Spirit followed by his wife Kelly and the Faith Chapel family.
Youth Pastor: Olivia Metzger
Hey Everyone!! My name is Olivia Metzger, I was originally born in Dallas, Texas but the Lord has me here on assignment. I have been on staff at Faith Chapel Church for over 3 years now. I attended CFNI from 2017-2020, graduating with a Bachelor in Biblical Studies/ Pastoral Ministries. My passion is for the youth, my desire is to see the coming generations set on fire for JESUS. Just as Caleb and Joshua entered the promise land, I believe this coming generation is going to do that very same thing.

Our Beliefs:
THE BIBLE IS THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD
The Scriptures both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired by God; the revelation of God to man. The infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.
(2 Timothy 3:16, 1 Thess. 2:13, 2 Peter 1:20-21)
THE DEITY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God and therefore Deity as attested to by: His conception by the Holy Spirit, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary work on the cross, His bodily resurrection from the dead, and His exaltation to the right hand of God; very God and very man.
(Matt.1:23, Heb. 7:26, Acts 2:22, 2 Cor.5:21, Matt.28:6, Acts 1:9-11)
THE SALVATION OF MAN
Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
(Titus 2:11, Rom.10:13-15, Luke 24:47, Titus 3:5-7, Rom.8:16)
THE ONE TRUE ETERNAL GODHEAD
We believe in the Eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself as ONE God existing in THREE persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, distinguishable but indivisible.
(Duet.6:4, Mark 12:26, Is.43:10, Matt.28:19, 2 Cor.13:14)
MAN, HIS FALL AND REDEMPTION
Man was created good, and upright, for God said, "Let us make man in Our image and after Our likeness." However, by voluntary transgression, fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God, and that his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
(Gen.1:26, Gen.3:17, Rom.5:12)
BAPTISM IN WATER
The ordinance of Baptism by immersion is symbolic of our burial and resurrection with Christ and should be observed as commanded in the Scriptures, by all who have repented of their sins and in their hearts have truly believed on Christ as Savior and Lord. In so doing, they declare to the world that they have died with Jesus and that they have also been raised with Him to walk in newness of life.
(Matt.28:19, Acts 10:47, Rom.6:4)
THE LORD'S SUPPER
Consisting of the elements, unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressing our sharing the Divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ, a memorial to His suffering and death; and a prophecy of His second coming; and is commanded of all believers "until He comes".
(John 6:48, Luke 22:19-20, 1 Cor.11:26)
THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
All believers are entitled to, and should ardently expect, and earnestly seek, the promise of the Father, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, according to the command of the Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes, power for life and service, the impartation of spiritual gifts, and their uses in the work of the ministry.
(Luke 24:49, Acts 1:4-8, Acts 2:38, Acts 10:44-46, Acts 11:15-16, Acts 15:7)
THE EVIDENCE OF THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
The full consummation of the Baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is historically evidenced by the initial, subjective, physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance; and by the subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and service.
(Acts 2:4, Acts 8:18-21, Acts 9:17, 1 Cor.14:18, Acts 10:44, Acts 11:14-16, Acts 19:2, Acts 19:6)
SANCTIFICATION
Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God. The Scriptures teach a life of holiness without which no man shall see the Lord. By the power of the Holy Spirit we are able to obey the command, "Be ye holy, for I am holy". Entire sanctification is the will of God for all believers, and should be earnestly pursued by walking in obedience to God's Word.
(Heb.12:14, 1 Peter 1:15, 1Thess.5:23-24, 1 John 2:6, Rom 6:1-13)
THE CHURCH
The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of The Great Commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the "general assembly and the church of the first-born".
(Eph.1-22-23, Eph.2:19-22, Heb.12:23)
DIVINE HEALING
Divine healing is an integral part of the Gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.
(Is.53:4-5, Matt.8:16-17, Mark 16:18)
THE BLESSED HOPE
The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation, together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord, is imminent and is the blessed hope of the Church.
(1 These.4:16-18, Rom.8:23, 1 Cor.15:51-52, Titus 2:12-13)
THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF JESUS
The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on the earth for one thousand years.
(Rev.19:11-16)
THE FINAL JUDGMENT
There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the Devil and his angels, and the Beast and the false prophet, will be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
(Matt.25:46, Mark 9:43, Mark 9:45-48, Mark 9:47, Rev.19:20, Rev.21:8, 2 Peter 3:13, Rev.21:1)
FAITH
Everything we are taught in the Scriptures; everything we receive from God is by faith, without which it is impossible to please God. It is to be the normal way of living for the true believer and it is our responsibility to maintain our faith at a level which gets the job done and pleases God, who gives all "the measure of faith".
(Heb.11:6, Rom.14:23, 2 Cor.5:7, Rom.12:3)
OUR STORY:
Faith Chapel Church began in the home of the late Paul Brewer when a group of believers approached Pastor Ronald Yohe to lead a new congregation. Sixteen years later Faith Chapel merged with River Bend with the leading of Jonathan Rodkin and Dr. David Robinson. At that time, Pastor Josh was serving the youth under Pastor Yohe. The church suffered the loss of Pastor Yohe in 2016 and Pastor Josh took over leadership with the opportunity to build on a very strong foundation. In 2019 we brought Olivia Metzger in as an intern to work with the youth. In 2020 after she graduated from CFNI, we brought her on the team as our youth director. In 2021 we made the move to Joy where we continue the mission of making disciples and raising up leaders.
