Why House of Prayer Family Church? House of Prayer Family Church is a gathering of believers focused on connecting with God, one another and community. We do this by building authentic relationships with people outside the walls of our building, sharing the Gospel of the Kingdom and making ourselves assessable to God and our neighbors. It provides an atmosphere of hope, compassion and love to an ever-changing culture. Remember Me For Making a difference in somebody's life
Quotes When you know why Jesus came, you’ll celebrate Christmas every day! (1) He came to pay the ransom price for our redemption. (2) He sent the Holy Spirit to give us power to live the Christian life. (3) Jesus came to serve, not to be served (Matt. 20:26-28). It’s all about serving, not striving. (4) Each time we obey God’s will instead of our own, we “preach” to others what it’s like to live as a citizen of His kingdom. (5) “… the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10 NIV). -Jim Kaseman "Nothing is so common as unsuccessful men with talent. They lack only determination." Charles Swindoll "Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light." Helen Keller "The church exists for the sake of those outside it." William Temple The difference between involvement and commitment is like ham and eggs; the chicken is involved, the pig is committed. -anonymous
