The Bibleway Church of Jefferson City, Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith, Inc. was founded in 1982 by Bishop Richard H. Bailey, Jr. The ministry was birthed out of the deep concern and love of Bishop Bailey’s wife, Mother Tommie Bailey, for a set of twin sisters who became born again believers in St. Louis, Missouri but who resided in Jefferson City, Missouri.
A rented unused community center located at 608 East Dunklin Street became the first home of the Bibleway Church of Jefferson City. Bishop Bailey, along with members of his ministerial staff and Deacon’s Board, began trans- forming the center into a House of Worship. Considerable work had to be done on the building before it could be occupied. After much labor on the part of the brethren, the doors were opened for spiritual service in October of 1982.
The church family resided at this location for approximately four years before they moved to their present location, 900 Monroe Street. Bishop Richard Bailey shepherded this flock for ten years (1982 – 1992) with the capable support of his Assistant Pastor, Elder Harry Kennedy. In 1992 Bishop Bailey appointed Elder Stephen Williams pastor. Under the leadership of Elder Williams and wife Missionary Debra Williams, the church membership grew. Elder Williams remained in this position until 2004. Shortly thereafter, he and his family relocated to the state of California.
