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.

We have been worshipping, learning, and serving in the same location for 50 years and invite you to come and check us out.
