A message from our founder, Jeff Kersey
The Foundation
Our mission is to equip smaller-member evangelical churches with the resources and coaching they need to grow and reach their communities for Jesus Christ.
Our Mission
Faith Moves Mountains began with a simple conviction:
If you don’t step out, you won’t find out what God can do.
What started as a way to help smaller congregations remove financial roadblocks has grown into a foundation that funds strategic projects, equips pastors, and tells the stories of God at work through local churches.
What makes us
different?
Pastor-led perspective (Rev. Jeff Kersey)
Funding + Formation (Generous grants paired with coaching)
Growth mindset (Forward focus, not Status-quo)
Stewardship through stories (Impact updates that encourage the Church)
What we believe
We affirm the historic Christian faith (NLT for quoted Scripture) and align with the Global Methodist Church’s doctrinal standards.

What We Do
Work with local church leadership to discern and define strengths, struggles, and strategies.
We offer 40 years of ministry perspective from growing high impact churches.
Consulting
Coaching pastors to grow their ministry to impact their communities with the Good News of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Coaching will focus on:
Defining calling
Developing spiritual gifts
Discover how to empower Christ centered lay leadership
Discern what is need based evangelism
Coaching
The foundation works with ministry partners to provide “start- up capital” for new ministries in local churches with a vision and passion to reach their communities for Christ. Mt. Horeb became one of the largest and most effective Methodist churches in the country because God provided vision, passion, and generous partners. The Foundations wants to see God “do it again!”
Capital
Asbury
Seminary
Scholarships
We believe that evangelical and biblically based training and education is vital for the spiritual health of the local church.
We believe Asbury Seminary is one of the best place for pastors
to be trained in effective ministry.
The Retreat is an exciting new ministry of Faith Moves Mountains and is located between the town of North and the city of Orangeburg in South Carolina bordering the North Edisto River. The Retreat will be a place for pastors and their families to renew their spirits, relax, and enjoy God's beautiful creation.
The Retreat will offer deer, turkey hunting, and fishing. Most of all it will be a quiet and peaceful place to unplug from ministry and reconnect with family and God’s calling.

When you partner with Faith Moves Mountains, you will be investing in small membership evangelical Methodist churches who have a passion and vision for reaching their communities for Christ but lack the financial resources or experience.
By investing in Faith Moves Mountains, you will help mobilize and empower pastors and churches to make disciples of Jesus Christ locally and globally. We provide coaching to pastors based on our 40 plus years of ministry experience of growing churches, which includes Mt. Horeb Methodist Church in Lexington, SC. Mt. Horeb grew from 80 in worship in 1994 to over 5,000 members today. We will work to help pastors and churches capture the Biblical vision and mission necessary to change the world.
We are committed to a distinct evangelical Wesleyan perspective rooted in the Infallible and Inspired Word of God. We believe God’s Word is the primary rule and ultimate authority for faith, morals, and practice.
With your support, we will be able to empower both pastors and lay leadership to impact their local communities for the Gospel.
In essence, partnering with Faith Moves Mountains invests in equipping passionate, theologically sound and globally minded leaders and churches to move mountains to fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus Christ.
