What We’re All About
Who we are
Praise Assembly is a vibrant local community of Christian believers. Praise has wonderful ministries and fellowships for all ages. We have seasoned believers as well as brand new converts. Our gatherings are worshipful, exciting and biblically sound. Praise is truly a place where a person can be blessed and be a blessing.
We are founded on the Word of God because, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16). Therefore, it is our aim to base everything we believe and practice on the Word of God.
We are focused on people because we believe this is the heart of God. It is also the example we see in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. He reached out to all people regardless of gender, race, age or social status. It is our desire to follow this example and be a local church that welcomes and reaches out to all people.
