Discover Real Faith
Faith isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about taking the next step. At 417 Church, you can be honest about your doubts, ask hard questions, and explore what it really means to follow Jesus. We’re here to walk with you as you discover a faith that’s alive, personal, and life-changing.
Live in Freedom
We’ve all faced battles — addiction, fear, shame, broken relationships. But you don’t have to fight alone. At 417 Church, you’ll find people who will stand shoulder to shoulder with you, believing for your breakthrough. Together, we’ll pursue the freedom and wholeness only Jesus can bring.
Find Your People
Life wasn’t meant to be lived alone. At 417 Church, we believe church should feel like family — real people who know your name, stand with you in the hard times, and celebrate the wins with you. In a world where it’s easy to feel invisible, this is a place where you belong and are seen.
Build a Life That Wins
What if life could be more than just survival? What if it could be full of purpose, hope, and impact? At 417 Church, we believe God has a plan for your life that’s bigger than you imagine — and it’s not just for you, it’s for the good of the city. Let’s build a life that wins, together.
Meet our pastors.
Patrick is often described as “Faith and Fire.” He carries a contagious passion for Jesus and a deep compassion for people. Growing up in Oklahoma, Patrick faced his share of battles — seasons of doubt, moments of loss, and the refining fire that comes from real life. But through it all, he encountered a God who not only saves but restores. His journey has given him a heart for people who feel far from God, equipping him to speak with raw honesty, bold faith, and a deep belief that no one is too far gone for a miracle.
Erika is a beautiful mix of “Strength and Heart.” Raised in Missouri, she knows what it’s like to navigate life’s challenges while holding tight to God’s promises. She has a gift for truly seeing people — listening to their stories, speaking hope into their struggles, and calling out the gold God has placed inside of them. Her warmth, authenticity, and love for people are felt the moment you meet her.
Together, Patrick and Erika dream of a church that’s alive with God’s presence and overflowing with love for its city — a place where broken lives are mended, faith is ignited, and the impossible becomes reality. Their vision for 417 Church is to see a thriving, multi-generational, life-giving community in Springfield where people from every walk of life can encounter Jesus in a real and personal way.
You won’t find perfect people here — just people being real about their struggles and passionate about the hope and healing found in Jesus.
The Fahlens have called both Oklahoma and Missouri home, but Springfield is more than a location for them — it’s a calling. And now, they’re excited to be part of writing Springfield’s next chapter of revival.
