Scripture tells us there is a season and a time for everything. Here at Big House Church, now is the TIME TO BUILD! For the past 15 years, our vision has been to cultivate a community of passionate worshippers who partner with Jesus to create Kingdom culture on earth as it is in heaven. We have witnessed countless lives transformed through the power of the gospel and the glory of the Presence of the Lord. It is all about His presence, which we encounter through prayer, praise and worship, scripture and authentic community. We are guided by four very simple core values:

Love God, Love People, Worship Jesus and Spiritual Formation that reveals the image of Christ in each of us.

Many years ago through multiple prophetic words, the Lord made it clear that one day He would supernaturally provide us with "land and buildings" to serve as an Equipping Ministry Center to serve the community and build up His Church. Well that day has come! And the Lord has orchestrated for us to inherit the Open Door Chapel in the heart of Virginia Beach. There is already a rich history of revival and spiritual renewal on this holy ground and now the time has come for the next generation to carry on the work and usher in a fresh move of the Holy Spirit for our region. When we reopen the doors of Big House at the Open Door, it will be filled with the presence of the Lord and people from all walks of life will gather to be changed by the love of Jesus.

You are invited to join us in this journey. As we partner together, each and every one of us will see a fresh outpouring of God's Spirit that will bless the entire region, strengthen the whole church, and change many lives. It is time to build and by the grace of God we will enter this new day together.

In that day I will restore the fallen tent of David.
I will repair its damaged walls. From the ruins
I will rebuild it and restore its former glory.

Big House Church has doubled on every metric in the last 5 years, and it’s time to make room for more family and to be a place that people encounter the presence of God .
