THE FAITH CHAPEL STORY

Faith Chapel is a non-denominational family that is one church in two locations.
Our central campus is in Birmingham, AL—an affordable, family-friendly city that
is one of the largest in the state and still expanding. Our second campus location
was launched in the fall of 2019 in Columbus, GA—a military town that is the 3rd
largest city in GA. At Faith Chapel, the mission and vision is “to grow people up
through God’s Word to Reflect Jesus.”

Faith Chapel launched in April 1981 in the 4-room home of its Founding Pastor,
Mike Moore. Over several decades, through God’s faithfulness, Pastor Mike
developed what began as a small home-based Bible study into a growing
congregation of thousands committed to transforming lives and families through
its weekly worship services, local outreach, and national television broadcast. In
December 2002, Faith Chapel completed construction on its $16 million, 3,000
seat “WordDome” worship facility, which through God’s help, the church paid for
entirely debt-free. In 2010, the church completed construction on another of its
major building projects—a $27 million family activity center known as “The
Bridge.” Consisting of six interconnected Domes, The Bridge houses many
amenities including a 12-lane bowling alley; a Christian teen dance club; a smoke
free and alcohol-free Christian adult event facility; an indoor playground for
children; a fitness center complete with strength training equipment, an indoor
track, and basketball courts, and a lobby area with a centrally located climbing
wall. The vision of The Bridge is to provide a safe place where people of all ages
can form life-giving relationships. The facility serves as a strategic tool used by
Faith Chapel to “bridge” the gap that exists between those far from God in the
community and the local church.

In June 2022, Pastor Mike announced a new season of ministry as he transitioned
out of his role as the Senior Pastor at the end of 2022. On January 1, 2023, his
son, Michael K. Moore assumed the Lead Pastor role. The leadership and
members of Faith Chapel have embraced this new beginning and are excited to
walk by faith into a fresh vision, knowing that our best days are still ahead!
