WHY HOUSE ON THE ROCK MADE IT THIS FAR

House on the Rock Church- home for all.
Founder: Pastor Paul Adefarasin

It will almost be impossible to find anyone who doesn't know or haven't heard about House on the Rock Church especially in Lagos State of Nigeria. We have seen her successes including the all time record breaker, THE EXPERIENCE!

It is one thing to have a vision, another thing is to strategize on how to bring to reality what you have seen. Just like every other church, individual, firm, group, etc, House on the Rock has her vision;

“Our vision is to be the voice of excellence, the hand of power and a bridge of hope. We believe in the power of God to change lives and value the practical application of His Word to make a difference in who we are and what we do. Believing and obeying His Word leads us in a discovery of real life and a hope for eternity. This is what the Bible teaches us, that Jesus Christ came as God’s gift to the world with a message of Good News.”

And also her mission;

“Our mission is to position the unexpected and the unlikely for the prolific move of God in the 21st Century and beyond. We are committed to ministering to your destiny; to assist you through the Word and covenant relationships to become all that God has called you to become and to do all that He has called you to do.”

House On The Rock believes in the following:

“We in the power of God’s Word to change lives and value the practical application of His Word to make a difference in who we are and what we do. Believing and obeying His message leads us in a discovery of real life and a hope for eternity. This is what the Bible teaches us, that Jesus Christ came as God’s gift to the world with a message of good news.”

Here is what you will find interesting:

The preaching style is very relatable: According to my numerous sources and findings, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, the founder, has a style that works for young people.
Unlike other churches, where the preaching is lifted directly from the Bible, the HOTR founder finds a way to use politics, economics, everyday stuff to explain the Word. One person said, " the preaching is every deep, yet relatable." Another said, "he is so real, and his preaching shows that he understands the challenges people face."

It's very interesting: All of these things, the lights, atmosphere, relatable preaching make for a very interesting experience. One person said, "It is was so interesting that I didn't sleep off. I couldn't sleep even if I wanted to."

No discrimination: Reportedly, the fact that there are a lot of wealthy worshippers makes no difference with the seating. Anyone can sit anywhere without feeling less than the other. This goes with the church's tagline, 'home for all.'

And the greatest of her achievements is the experience.
The birth of the experience has placed the church in a very high realm as it brings people all over the world within one atmosphere to experience God through worship.

With the great number in attendance and the millions of viewers worldwide during the experience, it is easier to plant the word of God in their hearts. The same strategy Jesus used during his days on earthy- gather the people together and then plant in the word in them.

Side Note: The experience is said to be the most gathered event of all time.
