OUR STORY

During Fall of 2012, after being challenged by a sermon, Prasanna “Elvis” Eswara voluntarily spent a season homeless and soul searching in an effort to imitate his Lord and Savior. One night, while he was asleep in his car, he heard two gunshots and woke up. He realized what a blessing it was to have a safe place to call home, and felt called to start the House of Peace with a mission to house our neighbors in need with the love of Christ.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

“We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and who regenerates, sanctifies, and empowers believers for ministry.

We believe in the Bible as the inspired and authoritative Word of God. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.”
