Our Statement of Faith

  • We believe in the Bible as the inspired and infallible written Word of God.
  • We believe there is one Supreme God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
  • We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through sincere repentance and contrition and faith in the cleansing power of the precious Blood of Christ Jesus.
  • We believe baptism by the Holy Ghost is essential for personal salvation, and according to Acts 2:4 is given to believers upon their confession to salvation.
  • We believe the full manifestation of the Holy Spirit occurs as one sanctifies themselves, according to 2 Timothy 2:21; Ephesians 3:16-19.
  • We believe the redemptive work of Christ on the Cross provides spiritual, physical, and mental healing in answer to believing prayer.
  • We believe in the power and spiritual necessity of sanctification
  • We believe the indwelling of the Holy Spirit enables us to live a holy and separated life.

Our History

The House of Light Church was founded by Pastor Ken and Sis. Leslie Gordon in Burlington, NJ in May of 2016. This spirit-filled couple set about establishing a church, which focused on relationship, not religion and resisted judging, intolerance, and convention. After two years, the church closed when Pastor Ken took a new job and the couple relocated to Birmingham, Alabama. In Alabama, the couple opened the House of Light Church – Alabama in May 2018, and incorporated under that name.

 

With a heart for Good Works, the couple led the involvement of their new church in community service efforts, through adopting a Transitional Women’s Facility, teaching community classes to low income residents, and participating in annual community Serve Day events where they gave away new and gently used clothing and household items to neighborhood families in need. After three years, the couple relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina and opened a new House of Light Church location, The House of Light Church – Charlotte. 

 

The House of Light Church has been, and will remain, consistent in several areas. The church consistently shows love and grants grace. The church consistently focuses on relationships and not religion. The church consistently focuses on the heart and not on the clothing. And, the church consistently strives for their membership to look like heaven, with people of all ages, genders, races, and backgrounds worshipping, learning, and doing good works, together.
