History of Faith Alive Ministries

Faith Alive Ministries first opened its doors to the Deep Creek community in July 1990 with eleven people in attendance. The church first met in "The Barn" as it was called, until moving to their Sanctuary at the offices of Buck Motor Company in February of 1991.

In June of 1991, Pastor Bob and Shawn brought their family to Faith Alive Ministries. In October 1992, Faith Alive Ministries had grown to a point which caused them to convert the garage at Buck Motor Company into their second sanctuary.
