Our Heritage

The Apostolic Church of Las Vegas

The Apostolic Church of Las Vegas has been a place of faith, hope, and truth for more than sixty years. While our roots stretch back to the day of Pentecost in the Book of Acts, our local story began in 1962 when Bro. Dallas Mefford and his wife, Sis. Ethel Mefford, answered God’s call to establish a church here in Las Vegas, Nevada. With prayer, vision, and a steadfast love for souls, they laid the foundation for a congregation committed to the Apostles’ doctrine and the name of Jesus Christ.

In time, pastorship was passed to Bro. Steve Stoltzfus and his wife, Sis. Sharon Stoltzfus, who faithfully carried the mantle forward. Under their guidance, the church continued to grow in strength and unity, reaching the Las Vegas valley with the timeless truth of God’s Word.

Today, the Apostolic Church of Las Vegas is blessed to be shepherded by Pastor JD Stoltzfus and his wife, Sis. Cheremy Stoltzfus. Together, they lead with compassion, vision, and a heart for both the congregation and the community. Their desire is not only to preserve the heritage handed down by faithful leaders before them but also to carry the message of salvation into the future with the same dedication and consecration.

The Mission

We are a One God, Bible-based church, committed to living and teaching the Apostles’ doctrine. The Bible declares that the church is “built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone” (Ephesians 2:20). The mandate that God has given His church is to love God, love people, and continue spreading His gospel throughout the Las Vegas valley and beyond.

A Place for You

At the Apostolic Church of Las Vegas, we believe church is more than a building — it’s a family. We invite you to join us for worship, study the Scriptures with us, and experience the power of God’s presence. Whether you are new to faith, searching for a church home, or simply curious to learn more, you will find a warm and welcoming community here.

We thank God for the faithful leadership of Bro. Dallas & Sis. Ethel Mefford, Bro. Steve & Sis. Sharon Stoltzfus, and our current leaders, Pastor JD & Sis. Cheremy Stoltzfus. Because of their dedication to God’s call, the Apostolic Church of Las Vegas continues to stand as a light in the valley — and we believe the best is yet to come.

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
