Mission:

Our mission at Lifeway Chapel is to be a Spirit-filled body of believers, ordinary people serving an extraordinary God, meeting people at the point of their need in Post Falls and beyond. We do this through worship, prayer, fellowship, discipleship, and evangelism; fulfilling the Lord's commission with compassion.

Lifeway Chapel started out simply as the "Assembly of God" in  Post Falls, Idaho back in 1956. One of the original pastors was Lyle Thompson. He and his wife Doreen helped to build the young congregation into a small but stable church. They served for several years until becoming full time missionaries.

Through the years the church grew and added a new sanctuary in the mid-1970s.

Terence Hall and his wife Jill arrived in the mid-1980s and served until they, too, answered the call to full time missions. They are currently missionaries in Russia.

Pastor Rob Wheeler and his wife Lisa began leading the church in 1991 when the Halls left, and did so for the next 12 years (to the day!), until Pastor Rob felt the call to move his ministry into a different arena.

Associate/Youth Pastor Cheyenne McElderry stepped up to the plate during the interim until Senior Pastor Fred Pace joined the Lifeway Chapel staff in July 2004.

Although the church is still affiliated with the Assemblies of God, several years ago the congregation decided to express itself with a name that would be more community oriented, and voted to change the church name to Lifeway Chapel.
