our pastor
Pastor Kevin L. Felder has devoted more than forty years to teaching and ministering in the areas of faith, healing, and Spirit-led living. His calling emerged early—he preached his first sermon at just twelve years old and was filled with the Holy Spirit at fifteen.
While living in New York, Pastor Felder attended the O.M. Kelly Religious Institute under the leadership of Bishop Frank O. White, graduating in 1981 as salutatorian. From the age of seventeen into adulthood, he traveled extensively as an evangelist, ministering both locally and across the United States. These formative years laid a strong foundation for a lifelong commitment to serving God with conviction, compassion, and unwavering faith.
In 1986, under the leadership of Bishop Norman Lyons Jr., he was ordained as an Elder at Fountain of Life Church in Hempstead, New York.
For over four decades, Pastor Felder has shared life and ministry with his wife, Vera Felder. Together, they have raised two children and built a family grounded in faith, love, and steadfast devotion to God’s Word.
His pursuit of deeper biblical understanding led him to Rhema Bible College in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, where he studied from 1988 to 1990. The school, founded by Kenneth E. Hagin, played a role in forming his Biblical perspective. Following graduation, he continued his ministry training at the School of the Local Church under the instruction of Bob Yandian. To further enrich his study of Scripture, he also completed coursework in Greek and Hebrew at Tulsa Community College.
Pastor Felder’s life stands as a testimony to the power of walking by faith and not by sight. His passion is to equip believers to be led by the Holy Spirit, stand firm on God’s promises, and remain steadfast through every season of life. Through trials, victories, and decades of ministry, his trust in God has remained unshakable—fueling a ministry marked by endurance, wisdom, and Spirit-empowered faith.
