Our foundational beliefs
At House of Prayer, our faith is rooted in the powerful truths of the Bible. We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, evident through the initial sign of speaking in other tongues, as recorded in Acts 2:4. We also believe in the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as He ministers to His people through prophecy, words of knowledge and wisdom, healing, and miracles (Mark 16:15-18; Acts 5:16; 2 Corinthians 12:1-11).
Living out genuine christianity
Beyond belief, we strive to live out genuine Christianity every day. This means cultivating love for God and people, dedicating ourselves to prayer and obedience to His Word. We express heartfelt worship and praise, share our faith, and remain committed to our families and one another in times of need. Honesty, diligence, and respect for authority guide our actions, as we dedicate our time, talent, and treasure to advance God's kingdom on earth (Romans 12:13; Colossians 3-4).
Leadership
Pastor Vieira and First Lady Jean are passionate about seeing revival ignite hearts, families, and communities. Together they preach and teach the Word of God, raising up disciples and building a church that carries His power, presence, freedom, and deliverance.
Pastor Vieira was delivered from a severe alcohol addiction, that began in his teens, after hearing the gospel from a man who came into his public housing project with a message of hope. His life was transformed, and today he shares his testimony to show others that freedom and deliverance through Jesus are real.
Together they enjoy trying new foods, meaningful fellowship, and spending time with their dogs, Cash and Zara.
Assistant Pastor Rosado and his wife, Sis Michelle, are devoted leaders who serve our church with strength, humility, and a genuine love for God’s people. United in vision and purpose, they help cultivate a culture of faith, prayer, and spiritual growth within our church community. Their leadership reflects integrity, compassion, and a steady commitment to building others up in Christ. Through encouragement, discipleship, and faithful service, they invest deeply in the lives of those around them, helping create an atmosphere where people can encounter God, grow in truth, and walk confidently in their calling.
Together with their daughter Ari, they enjoy traveling, trying new foods as self-proclaimed foodies, and spending time with their two beagles, Hope and Maverick. They believe living for God is a joyful adventure and love showing others that a life of faith is full of purpose, fun, and meaningful moments.
"House of Prayer taught me how to truly receive God's love and understand it in a deeper, more personal way. It has helped me grow in my faith and see just how intentional and constant His love really is."
