our story

Chapter 1
Faith Chapel is part of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel that has been in Billings for over 50 years. Stan and Ginger Simmons have been here since 1977. At our first meeting there were thirteen people present - with a hunger for God and a need for authentic community. From the beginning we committed to keep our eyes on Jesus, follow His lead, and focus on extending God’s love to those around us.

Chapter 2
In 1987, five Sunday services had far exceeded the capacity of our building on Lynn Avenue. In that season of prayer and a desire to be faithful in the next step, the Lord provided our current property at 517 Shiloh Road. On September 6, 1987 we had our first service in the "new" building. The sanctuary we met in for eight years is now where our grade-school kids meet on the weekend and is known as the Warehouse.

Chapter 3
Easter of 1995 marked another pivital point in the life of our congregation. In the midst of continued growth, the decision was made to build an entirely new sanctuary connected to the original 517 building. God truly has used it as a house of salvation. We can't help but rejoice with the many who have come into relationship with Christ and obeyed His call to be baptized in water.

Chapter 4
On August 2, 2008, chapter 4 in the life of the congregation of Faith Chapel began. From the beginning of our current building project our prayer has been, "Lord, do this in a way that people would see the great things You have done and give You the praise." We are a church that spans generations, inclusive of everyone regardless of ethnic, religious or economic background. As we continue in our discovery of how to influence people for Christ, we remain steadfast in our commitment to the study of God's Word and a passionate, devoted love for Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
