Touching Lives with God's Glory
The Late Dr. Barry and Karen Fields are the founding Pastors of The Father’s House Christian Fellowship. They have served as itinerate evangelistic music ministers, youth pastors, and pastoral advisors. Barry Fields also served as a Senior Worship Leader. They both served in many other areas of ministry for over 25 years. Upon being radically impacted and changed in the mid 90’s by the Holy Spirit during numerous visits to the revival at the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, the vision to plant a church was birthed in their hearts. Carrying the vision for true atmospheric revival with signs, wonders and miracles following, The Father’s House was established in 1997. Upon the Lord’s leading, the church was relocated to Easton, Pennsylvania in December of 2001.
Pastor Karen is now the Senior Leader. She is committed to seeing the lost saved, transformed, as well as equipped for God’s Kingdom. Her desire is to see people’s lives touched, impacted and changed by God’s Glory so that they, in turn, can touch, impact and change the lives of others with God’s Glory.
