A thirty-six-year old man, who was a husband and father, knelt by his couch on Fort Patrick Henry Base military housing located in Heidelburg, Germany, and prayed to God regarding a vision for the future. "You will pastor a church in Augusta, Georgia,” he heard. Seeds of faith were planted and are now bearing fruit in the form of 30 acres of property, four municipal buildings, relevant ministries for every age group, a state-of-the-art daycare, weekly attendance of more than 1,000 adults and children, and plans to build one of the largest sanctuaries in the area for worship.

The church erected its first meeting in a garage with 10 people. Shortly after, their was a transition to a hotel building and held services with 50 people weekly. From an elementary school to its own property in October of 1996, the church slowly but surely blossomed. In April of the following year, the attendance goal of 500 was shattered when 650 people attended the week’s services. An educational building was added in 1997 and a daycare in 1998 with a full children's playground but ever growing crowds made it necessary for yet another worship center. By 1999, two more services were added to accommodate more people hungry for the word of God. In Phase III, an auditorium was complete, a new teen building and food and clothing shelter for the local community.Attendance record was set the following year when over 1200 people attended weekend after weekend. Some eleven years later, Faith Outreach Church continues to thrive as it has from its very inception. The church works hand in hand with three other facets of ministry – Richard B. Peoples Sr. Ministries, F.O.C.L.C., and KinderKare Daycare – each with its own emphasis for reaching thousands of people every year locally, as well as around the world. F.O.C.L.C. also has numerous outlets, such as Children's Church, and A.O., to meet the needs of this generation. Under God’s direction, Pastor Peoples has created a ministry based on excellence,faith and integrity. Worship services are now being held in the Family Life Center with future plans for the construction of the Faith Dome. The vision for Faith Outreach Christian Life Center continues to flourish under the anointing of God and the leadership of Bishop Peoples.
