Lifeway has always been focused on our community. We began as a prayer meeting in New Haven.  As the Meadowbrook addition was built and expanded, it became clear that there was a need to which this little band of prayer warriors could minister.  Soon they had a pastor and Moeller Road Wesleyan Church was born.  In 1966, the first of our buildings was completed.  The structure which currently houses our children's ministry was finished and filled by a growing group of faithful people who prayed, sacrificed and ministered in our community of New Haven and Fort Wayne. Quick growth brought about the need for more classrooms in 1968.  Four years later, a fellowship hall, kitchen and children’s church area were added.  By 1990, the original sanctuary could no longer contain the body of believers who called Moeller Road Wesleyan Church their home.  In response, both our current sanctuary and parsonage were built.  The year 2000 brought about another change:  Moeller Road Wesleyan Church officially became Lifeway Wesleyan Church. Further growth and expansion of ministries in recent years had us literally bursting at the seams, so in 2016, we once again expanded our facility with the addition of a Family Life Center.  Growth has continued here, so in January of 2020, we literally  knocked out our sanctuary walls to accommodate 125 more seats and completely renovate our corporate worship area.  Just like we find in the book of Nehemiah, our people had "a mind to work."  So we worked together and finished our sanctuary project in less than 4 weeks, celebrating its completion with our first service in the new sanctuary on February 2, 2020.

What began as a neighborhood prayer meeting, is still the same at its core:  A group of Christ followers focused on prayerfully advancing Christ's Kingdom in our neighborhood and to the uttermost parts of the earth as the Lord leads and gives us opportunity.
