 Connect our communities to the person of Jesus.

Our Values

The Bible Is Our Authority

The Bible is the foundation for our belief system (2 Timothy 3:16)

Jesus Is Our Focus

We believe that everything we do should connect people to Jesus (Hebrews 12:2)

People Are Our Purpose

We believe in meeting people where they’re at and equipping them for real life (Ephesians 4: 12-13)

Stewardship is our Posture

We believe stewardship helps to carry the vision, sustain integrity, and raise future leaders (Luke 16:10)

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 four 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.
