Everyone is Welcome at House of Prayer!

As the people of God in this place in this time, we continually discern God's will through prayer, reading of scripture and in communion with the Holy Spirit and one another. Our life together is centered on Christ who focuses our mission in the world.

As a community called by God, we understand that we are called to learn about our neighbors as well as ourselves as God's people.

As a community gathered by the Holy Spirit, we acknowledge that as people of faith we practice the discipline of growing in our biblical understanding and provide ways for our faith community to grow in breadth, meaning members, and in depth, meaning faith formation.

As a community united by Christ, we commit ourselves to support transformative worship where worshippers are invited to encounter Christ incarnate as an intergenerational community celebrating the seasons of life from birth till death.

If you are seeking a faith community, a church home, we invite you to consider House of Prayer Lutheran Church a place where you will encounter God's abundant grace for all.
