our story
Community of Faith began with Pastor Justin & Jenni Wiegand being called to start a church in rural Ohio, where they both grew up. Pastor Keith & Jenny Peterson followed the call, moving from Kentucky to Ohio with their two sons. In 2007, the first campus in Lewisburg was launched with only a few other families. Community of Faith has since expanded into three additional communities.
We launched our 2nd campus in 2014 in Eaton, Ohio. As of 2022 the current Pastors are Matt & Teressa Superka. Three years later in the fall of 2017, campus three was launched in Arcanum, Ohio with Pastor Brandon & Brooke Peterson. In August 2021, our fourth campus launched in Richmond, Indiana with Pastor Eric & Penny Petersen. Pastor Alex & Lydia Murphy lead our Greenville campus which launched in March 2023.
