This church was founded in the early 1980s as an independent, autononomous, unincorporated local church in Missouri. It went by several names at different times. After the destruction of its building by flood and legal challenges to its government, it was reorganized and incorporated under Illinois law in 2005 as Peoples Church. The church now ministers and owns property in both Illinois and Missouri. The headquarters are located in Springfield, Illinois, in a storefront church with a second floor parsonage, living quarters and office. It is an Apostolic (pentecostal) church, unaligned with denominations or fellowships. It was the fulfillment of a vision by pastor Michael, who saw an interracial church as a mission to the impoverished east side of Springfield. The worship is lively Pentecostal style, in an informal setting. There is strong emphasis on faith healing, and the gifts of the Spirit. The main worship service is held on the Sabbath (Saturday).We hold the 1611 King James Bible to be Gods infallible, inerrant word to try spirits and identify false prophets. We are on a mission from God, to win souls and take the gospel to all the world. It is our desire to eventually have the doors open every day for community activities/service, or worship.
