House of the Lord

Strategically investing in covenant relationships to advance the reign of God!!!

We love you were you are and walk with you as you become who God wants you to be.

We purpose to glorify God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, by winning the lost at any cost, accepting them as members of this local family of God, making disciples of all who choose to follow God, and equipping them for ministry, first in Akron and then in all the world.

We pray that God would continue to open doors for our community as we seek to minister to the Akron Community, Northeast Ohio, and the world.

VISION

We purpose to glorify God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, by winning the lost at any cost, accepting them as members of this local family of God, making disciples of all who choose to follow God, and equipping them for ministry, first in Akron and then in all the world.

The vision of The House of the Lord is to glorify God by providing saving and restorative healing and support for those in Northeastern Ohio who are consciously hurting, through the Good News of Jesus Christ, offered in a relational environment, so that these people may develop significant relationships with God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and other believers.

We strive to do this primarily through services that are celebrations of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, which are built around the Spirit-filled preaching of the Word of God and a sense of the presence of God, which is experienced in two predominant impressions: God’s transcendent greatness, which is experienced as a sense of awe or excitement when we sense He is present; as well as God’s immanent closeness, which is experienced as a sense of God’s love that often manifests itself in a corporate worship experience with sensations of community and love from other people in the community. This sense of the presence of God would be accompanied by a freedom to express mature emotions, which would result in the conviction of sinners who are present and Christians who are built up, committed to Christ and His church, challenged to grow towards His vision for them, and demonstrating all of this in evangelism.

We also strive to realize our vision through Christian Education and discipleship that entails maturing people in the image of Christ, through the Sunday School and educational events, and the one another ministry of believers who exercise their spiritual gifts, through the power of the Holy Spirit, one-on-one and in small groups, so that the local body of Christ may build itself up in love.

We continue to pray that God would open doors for our continued expansion as we seek to minister to the Akron Community, Northeast Ohio, and the world.

MOTTO

Love out Loud (#LOL)

LOVE as God loves and allowing that love to be the driving force in all that we do.
Love OUTside the walls of our church to extend the love of God right where people are and right in the condition they’re in so that more souls can be saved.
Love LOUDer than our personal agendas, policies and procedures and so LOUD that the world takes notice as we partner with God to transform Akron first and then the world.

Let’s LOVE OUT LOUD!
