History of Keyway

Pentecostal

Church

Keyway Pentecostal Church all started with one mans vision of reaching the lost and changing peoples lives, his name was Derek Fellows. Derek loved God and had already experienced his awesome power when he was healed of a long term hip problem in 1988. He fellowshiped in a local church (Bilston Pentecostal Church) until he felt God calling him to the ministry.

In 1999 he and his wife Sylvia left the church with their blessing, support and prayers and started a church in an old school hall in Willenhall which they rented each week.The school was situated at the bottom of a duel carageway which is called The Keyway, hence the name of the newly founded church Keyway Pentecostal. On occations Pastor Derek would preach to three people but God started to bless them and people were saved and numbers increased.

All was well but Derek knew God had bigger and better plans. Then unexpectedly Pastor Derek had what seemed to be some bad news, the school was old and run down and therefore was about to close,they had until Dec 2001 to make other arrangements. The church knew that God would find them a new place of worship, so they started to pray and believed Gods prophecies and word.

Pastor Derek Fellows

In the months leading up to the Dec 01 Pastor Derek heard some great news. Two pastors in the area at that time, Pastor John Price and Pastor Maurice White knew of a church in Darlaston that was due to close unless someone could take it over. Breakthrough!

On the 16th Dec 2001 the same month that they were to be evicted out of the school, Pastor George Flavell of Darlaston Pentecostal Church handed the keys to Pastor Derek Fellows, and so it became Keyway Pentecostal Church.It even worked that they did'nt even have to miss a service.

Sadly in Dec 2002 Derek went to be with the lord ,but his wife Sylvia still retained the vision of what God had promised. In Dec 02 Sylvia took the church over and became the pastor.
