Our Story

“I would like to welcome you to worship with us in a vibrant and Spirit filled environment. Our church doors are open to anyone who wants to serve and worship our Lord Jesus in one of the most beautiful ways that any person could experience.”
— Pastor Joel & Maritza Cruz
 

It all started when…

The House of Praise and Worship was born from the restlessness of our Bishop Joel Cruz Sr., when he felt in his heart the need to unite the family and to help them see the great potential they all had in their diferent ministries.  On the 6th of January of 2002, the church was born, which would be called "House of Praise and Worship", and what a better way to serve the Lord than with Praise and Worship that comes from the bottom of our heart.

House of Praise and Worship began their first service in the house of Bro. Miguel & Sis. Hilda (Tatita) Cruz, located on Capen St in Hartford, CT.  In only one week of congregating they had to look for a bigger place to move, because we outgrew the space. In the laps of only months, House of Praise and Worship had to look for another place again. House of Praise and Worship congrerated in various locations like Mountford St in Hartford, CT. Not much later once again on November of the year 2004, we moved to Ledyard St in Hartford, CT. And that is where we praised the name of the Lord for years.

Now are proud to say that we have been blessed with a beautiful temple to gather in fellowship for praise and worship. Join us at 1 Westminster Rd. in West Hartford, CT where we will be glad to receive you with open arms to worship the Lord.

God bless you.

Todo empezo cuando…

La Casa de Adoración y Alabanza nació de la inquietud de nuestro Obispo Joel Cruz Sr. cuando sintio en su corazón unir la familia y dejarles ver el gran potencial que tenían cada uno en sus diferentes ministerios.  En el 6 de Enero del año 2002 nace la iglesia, la cual se llamaria "Casa de Adoración y Alabanza". Y no hay nada mas hermoso que servirle a Dios en Adoracion y Alabanzas genuinas que salgan del fondo de nuestro corazón.

Casa de Adoración y Alabanza comenzó a reunirse en el hogar del Hno. Miguel e Hilda (Tatita) Cruz localizado en la Calle Capen en Hartford, CT. En el transcurso de una semana de reunirse ya no cabían en el hogar. En solamente meses Casa de Adoración y Alabanza tuvo que buscar un lugar mas amplio, para la Gloria de Dios.  Estuvimos en varias localidades como Calle Mountford en Hartford, CT. No mucho tiempo después en de Noviembre del año 2004 estuvimos en la Calle Ledyard en Hartford, CT. Ahi fue donde adoramos y alabamos el nombre del Señor por varios años. 

Ahora estamos feliz que hemos sido bendecidos con un templo hermoso para reunirnos a adorar y exaltar a nuestro Dios. Acompáñenos en el 1 Westminster Rd. en West Hartford, CT donde estaremos feliz en aceptarlos con brazos abiertos.

Dios le bendiga.

 

In 2023 we celebrated our 21st Anniversary!

To God be all the Glory!
