House of Prayer is a gathering of God's people who value:
Welcoming
ALL people are God’s people, created in God’s image and loved as children of God. All people, regardless of: race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, nation of origin, immigration status, native language, etc. are inherently valued by God and welcomed.
"There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:28
House of Prayer is a gathering of God's people who value:
Relationships
God created us for relationship, with God and one another. While we continue to value the relationships we have within our membership, we also acknowledge the church is not simply a building that exists to solely meet the needs of its members. The Church is God’s people doing God’s work in the world. As such, we are committed to minister to those within the congregation and to the community.
"For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ." 1 Corinthians 12:12
House of Prayer is a gathering of God's people who value:
Compassionate Community
We are committed to walk with all those who suffer or struggle. We extend our compassion and love within our congregation, our community and world. We strive to meet the felt needs of the hurting and to work for solutions that address underlying causes of injustice.
"And the king will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.'" Matthew 25:40
House of Prayer is a gathering of God's people who value:
Openness
We affirm God is not done working in our midst. As such, we remain open to new ideas, new approaches, and new ways of working with people. This openness requires humility to recognize that we do not yet have all the answers and a willingness to live in the tension of uncertainty.
"I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43:19
