Pastors Ed and Beth Barnes were in ministry for eighteen years in 1994 when they began SOLC. During that first eighteen years, the Barnes ministered in Russia, South Africa, Mexico, the Caribbean and throughout the USA. They ministered in Russia before and during the demise of the Soviet Union. They were among the first to be involved in street witnessing in Moscow and crusade meetings. In 1993, the Lord began to change the direction of Ed and Beth's ministry toward pastoring. He led them to Indianapolis to begin and pastor a Word of Faith church on the west side of Indy. The Lord told them to build a great church and to teach Victorious Living Through Faith.
On Easter morning, April 4, 1994, Spirit of Life Church had their first service in a hotel with two people in attendance. From that humble beginning, the Lord has given them a loving and enthusiastic congregation, beautiful new facility on Raceway Road.
Pastor Ed and Beth are licensed and ordained by the Association of Faith Churches and Ministers based in Minnesota. Dr. Jim Kaseman is the founder and president of AFCM. Dr. Kaseman and his wife, Kathleen have been given an assignment to reach the world with the Word of Faith message.
