About Us

Vintage Faith began as a gathering of people who didn’t feel like they fit in the norms of most Decatur churches. The core members started in the home of its founding pastor, Robbie Stofel. It grew from a Bible study to an increased number of individuals who valued the unity the gospel intends. Vintage Faith is a non-denominational church. In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things love. The first official service took place on a houseboat floating down the Tennessee River on Easter Sunday, 2006.

Since then, Vintage Faith has met at several rented facilities before landing in its current home at 411 Sherman St in the downtown area of Decatur. Our building dates back to 1880 but our approach to worship is simple and faithful. We have been faithful in keeping our historical building in good repair while ensuring our technology is cutting edge.

We have a high view of Scripture, love one another, serve our community, seek to grow in our faith, and make disciples. Our worship band is one of the best kept secrets in Decatur. We gather as God’s people: broken and aware of our need for our Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Robbie Stofel retired in 2021, and Brad Eades became our new pastor. We invite you to join us. We also invite you to read through our statement of faith to see what we believe. We worship each Sunday morning at 10am. We also have Bible study meetings for men and women each week on Wednesday evening. Check our calendar for current start times and topics. All are welcome!
