About Us
Music is an integral part of our worship, providing a mix of traditional hymns found in the new Evangelical Lutheran Book of Worship and more contemporary Christian music. Our service music includes the pipe organ, a hand bell choir, and various small musical ensembles. We offer opportunities for Christian education for all ages. Our youth activities have included regular meetings, bible study, fundraisers, special activities such as ball games, retreats, camping opportunities, and much more. Our Youth Director keeps our young people challenged with outreach opportunities and theological growth.
There is a very active group of seniors, known as Keenagers, who previous to COVID would meet monthly for potlucks and programs ranging from entertaining to educational to worship. This program will be re-established when deemed safe to do so.
Every Tuesday at 9:30am, our quilters meet in the fellowship hall. In 2019 they made over 156 quilts, which were then donated to Interfaith Community Services. Everyone is welcome to join the quilters with no experience necessary. We are always looking for people to help cut squares, iron, sew, and share in the joys of creating.
House of Prayer is an active member of Interfaith Community Services (ICS), a premier community service organization in North County San Diego. Our contributions include clothing, food, and monetary donations as well as time and talent offerings. Volunteers from House of Prayer occasionally serve breakfast and a prepared lunch along with other volunteers for hundreds of community members in need. We also participate with the Escondido Clergy Association, an organization of ecumenical churches who coordinate community events and worship services together for the benefit of the community.
In addition to the many service and education activities, we are also active with social activities. Coffee and fellowship are offered each Sunday after worship service. We offer a book exchange after service, where people can lend and borrow books from our modest church library every third Sunday of the month. There is an annual golf tournament, fiesta, a beach camp-out, picnics at the church and the local parks, adult drop-ins, potlucks, and special dinners affiliated with our Lenten programs.
House of Prayer Lutheran Church, is affiliated with the Pacifica Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).
