Joe & Rena Perozich
Joe Perozich is the Founding Apostle of (formerly Morgantown Faith Center) and has served in ministry since its beginning in 1998. He and Pastor Rena Perozich were married in 1977 and have two adult daughters. The Perozichs came under apostolic covering of Drs. John and Rebecca Polis at the Light of Life World Outreach Center (now Faith Church International) in Fairmont, WV in 1987 and began a twelve-year journey from attenders, to members, and on to disciples – a walk that would lead them to birth a new ministry. In 1997, the couple led a local woman to the Lord. From that meeting, Morgantown Faith Center (now RCI) was born. Apostle Joe spent several years in dual roles as both a full-time businessman and pastor before being led to full time ministry in 2005.

In recent years, he has hosted a radio program entitled “Believe Right” and now a television ministry of the same title seen on several regional channels and the Internet several times weekly. RCI is the local church operation of the incorporation MFC Ministries for which Apostle Joe serves as President and senior leader.
