Our Story

On August 12, 2007, Pastor Aeneas, his wife Tracy and their 4 children met in their basement for their 1st official Sunday service for Spirit of the Lord Family Church (The Spirit Church). This was a step Pastor Aeneas took trembling in his flesh, yet trusting God in his spirit, knowing this was the path God prepared for him years ago.
It was in 1992 when God invited Pastor Aeneas to join Him in his work of ministering to his teammates with the Arizona Cardinals on nights before their games. This work grew into another weekly study including his teammates, their wives, significant others, and friends. For 6 years many Arizona Cardinal players and their families gathered at Pastor Aeneas and his wife, Tracy’s home in Phoenix, Arizona every Tuesday evening for the Word of God and the signature dinner of red beans and rice, with a side of Popeye’s Fried Chicken.

God began to send the people faithfully to the church and after 11 months in the basement of the house, they moved the ministry to the Crowne Plaza on June 1, 2008.  God opened another door for the ministry to rent a larger space at Christ Memorial Baptist Church in Cool Valley, on February 14, 2010. The JC Penney Building on the University of Missouri St. Louis’ campus was the church's next stop, and then McCluer South – Berkeley High School. Praise God, as of December 17, 2017, we are now located in our permanent space: 915 Northwest Plaza Drive, St. Ann, MO 63074.
Pastor Aeneas and Tracy take great honor in being chosen by God to raise up a wise and understanding people who will take the practical Word of God and live it daily, thereby drawing others to the Kingdom of God.

We are a church who's mission is to raise up a wise and understanding people and believe in Pastor Aeneas vision of a 100,000 member congregation.
