Welcome home

This is for everyone who calls this house home, and for everyone deciding whether it will be theirs. It tells you who we are, what we value, how we speak, and how we grow together.

Culture is not what we write down. It is what we do when we gather, when we serve, and when no one is watching. These pages put words to the life of the house so that every Partner, every team, and every generation can carry it the same way.

Luke 15:20

“So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.”

Luke 15:20 (AMP)

That is the heart of this house. The Father watches the road, runs to meet His children, and restores them. Every room in this house exists to bring sons and daughters home and help them find their place.

Our vision

Connecting people to the Father through Jesus Christ, to each other, and their God-given destiny!

Our mission

The Father’s House exists to compel and restore confidence in God through prayer, the Word of God, and the demonstration of the Holy Spirit that transforms and empowers disciples to be witnesses in their various areas of influence. We endeavor to make an impact on a local, national, and international level through spiritual, social, and economic transformation.

Our core values

Six convictions. One house.

01

Family

To build a strong family of disciples with a heart to change the world.

Psalm 68:6 · Ephesians 2:19

In the house
  • Every guest is met at the door and walked in.

Education

  • We strengthen marriages, parents, and homes.
05

Creativity

To create a platform for creative expression through the arts and drama.

Exodus 35:31-35 · Psalm 150

In the house
  • Dance, drama, and song are offerings to God, not performances.
  • TFH Worship carries the sound of the house.
  • Our productions tell the story of Jesus with excellence.
06

Unity

To promote racial, generational, and gender unity for the purposes of God.

Psalm 133:1 · Galatians 3:28

In the house
  • Every race, generation, and gender is welcome at the table.
  • We celebrate one another’s wins and guard one another’s hearts.
  • We move together as one house.
How we speak

Our language.

Words build culture. These are the words we use in this house.

Life makes sense when you connect.Connecting hearts and changing lives.There’s life in the connection.You belong here.
Worship Experience

not “service.” When we gather, we come to encounter God, not to attend an event.

Partners

not “members.” Partners carry the vision of this house through their time, their talent, and the tithe.

The house

is a family, not a building. We are The Father’s House wherever we gather.

Global Senior Pastor

is Apostle Yolanda M. Stith. Pastor Kori K. Stith Sr. leads alongside her.
