Eminent Faith Ministries

Getting to know me
I am Chantal I.K. Ryder. I have three children of whom two are still living at home. My oldest son, Moses Ryder, is currently serving in the United States Marine Corps as a combat engineer. I am an alumna of the Christian Leaders Alliance and of the Flaming Wings & Swords Academy. I have actively served the Lord since 2014, overseas at first, now, in the US, since 2022. I have offered counseling and have established online ministries serving the bereaved (Grieving Mom-Facebook), and serving people in distressed situations (Eminent Faith Ministries-Facebook and Pastor Chantal Ryder-Tiktok). My ministries have reached over 4.4k people online. I also have written blogs, published articles and a devotional to spread hope (Pr.Chantal I.K. Ryder, Dr.Div.-The Eminent Hope Devotional, Amazon). I’m currently offering pastoral care counseling and life coaching, being specialized in, but not limited to: overcoming trauma, grief and abuse, family counseling, post-divorce counseling, suicide prevention, parent coaching for children of all abilities, and resilience coaching.

My Coming to Christ and Calling to Ministry
In my early childhood years I would attend church regularly, but it wasn’t after a near death experience in recent years that completely changed my walk with Jesus. It was as if I bathed in hope, love and light and ever since I made it my mission to help others and experience God’s goodness as well. I made it my mission to bring hope and healing to everyone, no matter their walk of life.

My most favorite scripture verse this year is: Isaiah Isaiah 50:7
For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

My calling to this Soul Center
My calling to this soul center is inspired by the Christian Leaders Institute. I want to make disciples for Jesus, healing the sick, restoring the broken hearted, and planting seeds of love and hope. God has equipped me with empathy and hospitality. The Christian Leaders Alliance has equipped me with the necessary tools to minister at this fellowship soul center.

Who I Serve
As a volunteer minister, I minister to my community. I’m interested in serving Christians from all walks of life, restoring hope, and making disciples.

My Ministry
I enjoy restoring hope to people who feel lost and distressed. I offer pastoral care counseling & life coaching to everyone who experienced domestic abuse, other forms of abuse and trauma, and to everyone facing depression and other challenges. I enjoy getting together with a small group of people studying scripture and exploring scripture in the context mentioned above.

Souls Involved: over 4.4k
My online ministry has reached over 4.4k souls and my in person fellowship has reached about 7 people, growing continually. 

Faith and Honor Ministry

The Faith and Honor Ministry – A Soul Center of Restoration and Purpose
The Faith and Honor Ministry is a Soul Center born from the warrior’s journey—built not from bricks, but from battles. It is a sanctuary for those who have served, those who have struggled, and those seeking spiritual alignment after life-altering experiences. Founded by a veteran, for veterans, this ministry understands that healing doesn’t always begin in a pew—it begins in the soul.

As a Soul Center, The Faith and Honor Ministry reclaims the ancient truth that the church is not a building—it is within you. Here, veterans and their families rediscover their spiritual identity, find emotional refuge, and step into renewed purpose. We serve as a lifeline to those facing PTSD, moral injury, spiritual exhaustion, or identity loss. Through a holistic and faith-rooted model, we minister to the unseen wounds of warriors while reinforcing their innate strength.

We provide trauma-informed, scripture-based support without judgment, without pressure, and without dilution. Whether it’s through private spiritual mentorship, Brotherhood Fire Circles, or veteran-specific devotionals and rites of passage, each encounter is designed to reignite the soul and remind every veteran that their story is not over—it’s just being rewritten.

This Soul Center is built on core values: Faith, Honor, Brotherhood, and Redemption. We do not preach—we walk beside. We do not convert—we awaken. And we do not fix—we fortify.

If you’ve worn the uniform, carried the weight of the world, or feel like the war never really ended inside you—you are home.

At our core, we offer:

  • Faith-Based Counseling: Trauma-informed spiritual care grounded in biblical wisdom and real-world resilience.
  • Soul Restoration: A path for veterans to reconcile the wounds of war, identity loss, and moral injury.
  • Brotherhood Circles: Peer-driven support groups that forge deep bonds through honesty, Scripture, and shared mission.
  • Rites of Renewal: Baptisms, blessings, and ceremonial practices to mark new chapters in a warrior’s walk with God.

Every aspect of our Soul Center—whether events, devotionals, training, or pastoral guidance—reaffirms this truth:

“You are not alone. The battle may have shaped you, but it does not define you.”

We are where faith meets fortitude. Where warriors become whole.

 

Faithful Cross Ministries

GETTING TO KNOW US:

We are a brother-sister ministry team, James Kirkpatrick and Elizabeth Moses. We were born and raised in Maryland to Christian parents. We are Evangelical Christians that believe the Bible is God’s word. We truly believe that we should love all and help all and that we all have sin.

James Kirkpatrick:

I have always been a Christian, but I never fully understood the meaning of that statement and how powerful of a meaning that actually is until I truly put my full heart into Jesus back in 2017.

I am an Ordained minister and certified life coach from CLA. I am also a certified volunteer Firefighter in Maryland.

My goal is to receive my Associates Degree in Divinity from Christian Leaders College and eventually go for my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. I plan on taking all the classes CLI, CLA, and CLC have to offer. The more I know, the more I can offer and the more I can help. I truly care about helping people and doing God’s work. I also have a dream to teach a class for CLI one day.

I have developed a passion for Christian apologetics, Christian blogging, and Christian philosophy.
I currently have a Christian blog that I share my thoughts.
I am currently working on writing a few Christian books.

Besides my love for The Lord, I enjoy traveling, the beach, camping, my family, friends, and reading anything on history.

Elizabeth Moses:

I grew up in a Christian house, but it wasn’t until recently I realized I wasn’t fully putting my heart into my faith. My brother James Kirkpatrick was the one who inspired me and showed me Christian Leaders Institute. My goal is to earn my diploma from CLI and spread the word. I have a passion for music, art, administrative, helping people, animals, reading, and of course the Lord.

I also enjoy camping, traveling, my family, my friends, my puppy, and holidays.

Our past:

We know how hard this world can be and know how hard it is to deal with mental health issues as we both have battled anxiety, panic disorder, and depression. James also has Psoriatic Arthritis (an autoimmune disease).

We have been through the struggles of having no money, no house, and no food in the past. At one point in life, we were even living in a cheap tent in the woods and trying to catch fish just to have food to survive. But we knew in our heart everything would be okay during all the rough times because we had each other.

We’ve also had some of the greatest adventures together in life from vacations, having our own successful fishing YouTube channel, doing a podcast, we even had a music band together and performed on stage to raise money for charity.

Our Ministry:

We are currently a small house church with Bible studies, but we are working on growing. Our focus is primarily on spreading the gospel and helping people. We believe in loving all and helping all.

  • Becoming A True Christian
  • Bible Study
  • Teaching
  • Online Ministry

  • Have a free service where we help people find jobs, build resumes, and work with them on interview skills.
  • Christian event planning for special events such as weddings, birthdays etc.

We also want to teach some classes on our YouTube channel. We are currently working on filming a course called the Christian way which is focused on how to be a better Christian and how to help others as Christians in different ways.

We plan on sharing CLI, CLA, and CLC with everyone.

Upcoming plans:

We want this ministry to focus on preaching the gospel the way Jesus taught us. Some goals we have for this ministry are to make gift boxes, which will include things like food, personal hygiene kits, gifts, clothes, and a card with a personal prayer from us. It will also include information on the Christian Leaders’ Institute in these boxes to help with education and knowledge of the gospel. We also hope to include a paper in this box with local jobs that are currently hiring and locations of public libraries with computers to use to apply for jobs and to have access to the Christian Leaders Institute. We plan on starting this project this November 2023, with most of the money coming from us and also from us raising money by doing fundraisers. We want this ministry to eventually spread throughout the world.

Souls Involved:

We just started this ministry.

5 year plan:

Eventually, we want to do some ministry work overseas and also want to open a non-denominational church.

Also, we want to open a food kitchen, food center and a homeless shelter.

Get To Know Me:
Hi! I’m Nikki and I grew up in church but never really understood the deeper meaning of being a Christian. In 2024, that changed! I was in jail and completely broken down. That’s when I met some wonderful ladies that not only brought God to the jail but they helped me grow in my faith once again. They taught healing and grace from the scriptures. During this time God started calling me to lead others to healing through His word.

In July 2024 Faith In Action Ministries was born. Since the start we have focused on an online ministry so we could reach people in our community and outside of it.
Our goal is to help everyone overcome all the things that weigh them down and hinder the potential of what God has created us to be.
I know the power of transformation that God can have on a person, as I am proof that He can change anyone and use them for His need!

Calling to this Soul Center:
The calling to this type of Soul Center is based on my own life experiences with brokenness and addictions. As a DV Advocate I also know how Faith can help improve the trauma response after suffering abuse.

Who we serve:
We serve anyone that has an interest or need for Jesus in their lives.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another” -Proverbs 27:17

In the Faith In Action Ministry we believe in meeting people where they are in their journey and relationship with Jesus Christ.
We will make our own walk with God reproducible for those whom we mentor and teach.
We will teach our Healing Class through the Beatitudes in Matthew to promote a faithful healing and growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

Souls Involved: 1-25

First Love

This gathering is not intended to grow into some impersonal large church gathering or souls who are not in relationship with each other, and especially not in relationship with the men and women tasked and gifted by God to mentor them into a submitted and committed relationship with the Spirit who is God.

Doing the work described in 1st Corinthians 5:17-21 and Ephesians 4:11-16, First Love exists to be used as co-workers with Christ in His field and building His House, the Kingdom of God – The Church – with the goal to bring in, mentor and train, and to send out to reproduce and multiply, and we have been commanded. Utilizing the resources of Christian Leaders Institute, and the many pastor elders in the community, First Love desires to be used as a facilitator of the unity of the Spirit who is God, to build His body up into the full stature of Christ to be His vessel representative and Ambassador on earth, in our community of influence.

God has raised up within His body those with these gifts for the very specific purpose of building up ourselves corporately. Christ in us, working in us, and through us, that we may become stronger and have more godly impact on each other and those who may be looking for authenticity and not “churchianity” as usual. We each have experiences and abilities to accomplish the gifted roles given in Ephesians Chapter Four, for this purpose. Be it in preaching/teaching, mentoring, pastoring, planting, watering, using music, the arts, administration, hospitality, restoration and recovery, God wants to use who we are, where we are, with the individuality of our gifting and experience, while having a reborn identity as a child of God in Christ Jesus.

First Love Soul Center desires to use the gifts of those whom God is bringing in to do our part. If you are in our area of Northeast Indiana, you may be one of them.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”- 2nd Corinthians 5:17-21

“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.” – Ephesians 4:11-16

Freewill Community Church

Freewill Community Church is an out reach to help the poor. We are a Church that believes in helping those who are in need. We will be having online services while we pray for a permanent building.

Friends in Faith, Hope, and Love

We wish to serve any and all who are in need of any combination of Faith, Hope, and Love. As the Bible states, “The greatest of these is Love” (1Cort.13:13). We will serve all people through the activities of this Soul Center. My messages are available on YouTube – Pastor John Rung.

Frontline Remnant Ministries

Frontline Remnant Ministries is a house based ministry that focuses on bringing deeper discipleship to our community through teaching, training, and action.

Our mission is to Find, Feed, and Field.
– Find: Go out into the local communities to locate and find the spiritually lost and hurt.
– Feed: Help people grow into full maturity in Christ Jesus and produce Servant Leaders.
– Field: Send disciples into the local communities to find and feed those in need.

Our desire is deeply rooted in fulfilling the Great Commission.

“And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20, ESV)

The word used for “make disciples”, means to help someone progressively learn the Word of God to become a matured, growing disciple of Christ in belief and practice. Discipleship is a lifelong process, and as Christians we need a community because it not only takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village to raise a family.

In James chapter 2 we see the author informing us that faith without works is dead. We are not saved by our works, our works are a manifestation of our salvation.

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’” (Matthew 25:31-40, ESV)

Again, we are not saved by performing good deeds and being good people. We are saved solely by the grace of God, and that grace given to us is now our responsibility to give to others on behalf of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.

We raise up disciples, to raise up disciples to fulfill the mission given by God.

FRUITFULL CHURCH

Fruitfull Church is a sacred initiative that will operate as a living expression of God’s love — designed not around a building, but around the heart and voice of Christ. Founded by God alone, it is being formed for a new kind of spiritual experience: one that listens first, serves quietly, and meets people where they are — in their language, in their limitations, and in their longing.

Rather than using traditional church structures, Fruitfull Church will function as a voice-first ministry — with sermons, prayers, and scripture shared through sound, not screens. This design comes from deep reflection on the needs of:

  • Elders who cannot read
  • Women in villages without spiritual access
  • Disabled or isolated believers
  • Those who only understand Punjabi (Doaba) or spoken language
  • The church will work through a custom-built platform called CareForMix, which includes:
  • Grace AI, a gentle assistant that never preaches, only helps prepare and support truth-based sermons
  • Voice-based navigation, so users never have to read, click, or type
  • A personal feature called Mama Ji Mode, which privately delivers daily sermons to the founder’s mother in her dialect and voice style
  • A Sacred Sound Garden feature — where users can listen to peaceful scripture with soft background sounds like chimes, wind, or birds (symbolizing creation’s praise)

Fruitfull Church will not use videos or tech just for the sake of modernity — every feature will be designed with spiritual dignity, biblical accuracy, and emotional comfort. The design will reflect a sacred space:

🌿 Nature-inspired visuals

🎵 Gentle sound atmosphere

🪔 Holy verses displayed or spoken before each session begins

This church will also uphold strong privacy ethics. No data will be misused. No content will be shared without prayerful discernment. The church will never promote itself — it will grow only if God chooses to lead someone into its garden.

At its heart, Fruitfull Church is a response to a spiritual cry:

“Lord, we cannot read — but we want to know You.”

And God has answered with:

“Then I will send My Word through your ears, through your mother’s voice, through the wind — and you will hear Me.”

✝️ Foundation:
Colossians 3:16 – Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly

John 15:5 – I am the vine, you are the branches

Isaiah 55:11 – My word will not return to me empty

Its mission will be:
“To help souls live a fruitful life in Christ.”

🎯 Aim of the Church
Fruitfull Church will aim to:

Share the Word of God in a way that is accessible to all, especially:

  • Those who cannot read
  • The elderly
  • The spiritually distant or isolated
  • Ensure that no soul is left behind because of literacy, language, or location barriers

🛠️ How It Will Operate
Fruitfull Church will operate through a peaceful digital platform called CareForMix, offering:

  • Voice-based access to sermons, scriptures, and teachings
  • A respectful AI assistant (Grace) to support sermon preparation and live spiritual interaction
  • Mama Ji Mode, designed for noble elderly users who cannot read
  • Multilingual and offline support, beginning with Punjabi (Doaba), English, Hindi, and Urdu

This ministry will be private, non-promotional, and planted like a spiritual garden, allowing the Word of God to grow gently and richly in every heart.

Full Faith Ministries

Full Faith Ministries is about ministering to communities through evangelism outreach and connecting people to their local church. We bring worship and the sharing of the word through conferences, revival meetings, and other special community events. We also have a local church, and we are developing a community center where people can come and have their needs ministered too, as well as providing an opportunity to “hang out” in a safe place. Our ministry helps those with their needs, in the areas of prayer, officiant services, bible study, and providing some assistance in their physical needs.
As we work the “great commission” in this ministry we will have 3 focus areas
1. Jerusalem- through our local church we will continue to help our outreach event coordinator and the local community leaders hold community events.
2. Judea- We will bring evangelistic revival meetings and conferences to churches and communities throughout the region.
3. Ends of the earth- We continue to serve our local church by overseeing and coordinating the international broadcast. We will also be coordinating with area ministries and assisting them with oversee missions.

Deuteronomy 31:12,13- Assemble the people- men, women and children, and the foreigners residing in your towns- so they can listen and learn to fear the Lord your God and follow carefully all the words of this law. Their children who do not know this law, must hear it and learn to fear the Lord you God as long as you love in the land your are crossing the Jordan to possess.
Proverbs 22:6- Teach the children on the way they should go, and when they are old, they will not depart from it.
