Adult Ministry
Service. Outreach. Fellowship.
What it’s all about…
Grow in faith. Make disciples. Serve in love.
This is our mission statement at House of Prayer, and we do whatever we can to live out this simple phrase each and every day, through service, outreach, and fellowship. Check out the many ways that you can become involved at our church through our adult ministry!
