Hearing the voice of God speak, The Bethesda Church was birth into the world on May 03, 2015 at 11:00am. This church plant is the product of much prayer, many tears and serves people who many have thrown away and counted out. With a heart of humility, Pastor Riley serves those who are homeless, hospitalized and helpless to bring hope, happiness and wholeness. From this service, God spoke and called Pastor Riley to serve as Senior Pastor of The House of Prayer Baptist Church. A church that is primed for Kingdom Work. On May 15, 2016 at 2:00 pm, Pastor Riley was installed as the second pastor in the history of this awesome church. Pastor Riley truly believes 1 Corinthians 3:7 KJV "So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase."
