Praise Chapel - A Family of Fellowships
Praise Chapel Family of Fellowships began with one church in Maywood, California, in 1976. Pastors Mike and Donna Neville moved to the Los Angeles area from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The area around the church was gang and drug infested. Within a few years, God began to move in a very special way as gang members and their families began to be saved. Soon, the church was filled with people on fire for God who went outside the church, into the streets and neighborhoods of Los Angeles, preaching the gospel and seeing souls saved.
Following what God was doing, Mike and Donna Neville began to train pastors and send them out into the various areas of Los Angeles to start new churches. God blessed these new pastors and churches as they reached the unsaved and unchurched people.
What started with one church, became a fellowship of churches, which has now multiplied into a "Family of Fellowships" all over the world. Praise Chapel Family of Fellowships is an ongoing and growing story as new churches are continually planted, and as fellowships of churches continue to develop and increase. It is a Book of Acts story being written today.
