Our Mission

The mission of the Chicago House of Praise International Church is to show Christians in Chicago and across this nation who they are in Jesus Christ and how to live an empowering life through their covenant rights and privileges. (Ephesians 4:11 Amplified)

We are called to seek out those individuals who have yet to know or experience the love of God and lead them to the eternal life that was made available to us through the shed blood of His one and only Son, Jesus Christ.  (St. Luke 19:10 KJV)

We are called to reveal the full knowledge of God and revelation of His Word, that His people might recognize their identity, realize their potential, and maximize their life through purposeful living.  (Ephesians 4:12 Amplified)

We are called to teach people how to become rooted and grounded in God’s Word in order to operate with proficiency in biblical faith, love, healing, prosperity, and spiritual authority. (Colossians 1:23 Ephesians 4:13 Amplified)

We are called to teach believers how to give God’s Word first place in their lives so that they can become skillful in the Word of God and stand firm in spiritual righteousness against the kingdom of darkness.  (Ephesians 4:14 Amplified)

We are called to develop mature believers, bringing them from milk to meat, from religion to personal relationship and from carnality to supernatural empowerment.  (Ephesians 4:15 Amplified)

This church has the responsibility to proclaim the Lord Jesus Christ wherever God Himself has ordained.  The vision of The Chicago House of Praise International Church is currently being accomplished through the ministry efforts of its staff, the congregation, books, tapes, personal correspondence, and meetings and is multiplied through the financial support of ministry partners and from other ministries of like purpose.
