What to Expect | At The House
We are a worshipful, Spirit-filled community passionately pursuing the presence of God and partnering with Him to see His Kingdom come on earth. At the heart of our gathering is a deep commitment to co-labor with Jesus through intimate worship, authentic fellowship, and powerful apostolic teaching that equips believers to walk in authority and purpose. We believe the church is not just a place to attend, but a family to belong to-and a mission to fulfill.

You want your children to be involved in the life of the church. We believe children are as anointed as adults and we empower them to minister as the Spirit leads.

You value close fellowship with others who have been transformed by the love and power of Christ.

You desire to impact your community and the world with the power of God. This is a place where you can be equipped and released to make a difference for His glory.
You are open to the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We believe in operating freely in the gifts that God has given us for ministry and service.

Manifestations
Our Approach to Manifestations of the Spirit
Over the years, our church has experienced different expressions of the Holy Spirit's presence. For many, these moments were new and unfamiliar. To bring clarity and understanding, our leadership has sought to create a healthy framework for how we respond when the Spirit moves among us.
We encourage everyone to yield to God's presence and not resist what He may be doing. As Jesus said:
"If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
(Luke 11:13)
Guiding Principles
Since 1994, our approach has been rooted in historic wisdom-drawing from Jonathan Edwards during the Great Awakening-while keeping Christ at the center. We recognize that whenever the Spirit moves, there may also be elements of human response or emotion (what Edwards called mixture). Our goal is to both pursue and discern the ways of God.
Where Scripture is Clear
When the Bible gives direct instruction about what to do, we obey. When it commands us to avoid certain things, we refuse them. This forms the foundation for our life together as God's people and as a witness to the world.
Where Scripture is Silent
In areas where the Bible does not give direct commands (for example, certain physical or emotional manifestations), we discern together as a body. Our main guide is fruit-whether lives are being changed, Christ is being exalted, and love is increasing.
Our Emphasis
We do not chase manifestations for their own sake. Nor do we dismiss them out of fear or discomfort. Our focus remains on Christ, trusting the Spirit to move in ways that honor Him. Our responsibility is to remain open, test what is happening, and look for lasting fruit.
Lessons from History
Church history shows us both the danger of quenching the Spirit and the danger of excess. When we resist the Spirit out of fear, we risk missing His grace. When we make manifestations the center, we lose sight of Christ. Our desire is to walk faithfully in the tension-pursuing the presence of God, discerning His ways, and allowing the Spirit to work among us as He chooses.
