Faith Chapel Mennonite Church, Cleveland, Alabama, began as an extension of the Straight Mountain Mennonite Church located in Blount County, Alabama. Robert Metzler began a Bible study in Locust Fork, Alabama in 1976.

On 10 September 1978, Faith Chapel Mennonite began in a new worship space with 14 charter members, and Robert and Sandra Metzler moved to a new home in the area. As the congregation grew, it added a large fellowship hall in 1989 and an addition to the auditorium in 1998.

In 2000, the Lancaster Mennonite Conference "released" the 14 churches it had established in the southeast United States to form a new network called Good News Fellowship (GNF). Faith Chapel Mennonite became part of this new fellowship.
