 About Us
House of Prayer is a Christ-centered
church that worships God with an innovative music program
and a dynamic method of presenting the Gospel. Come and enjoy
the multi-cultural, happy atmosphere of faith.
Pastor Owen Talley Jr.
and Pastor Peggy Talley started the House
of Prayer in May 1992 as a Tuesday night Bible Study. The
Talleys began ministerial training in 1989 at Gospel International
Fellowship Ministries in Croughton, England. They were licensed
as ministers by the Church of the Living God in July 1991
in Buchenbueren, (West) Germany.
 While
studying for the ministry, the Talleys conducted numerous
seminars and preached in British cities such as Birmingham,
Oxford and Manchester, often at tent revivals. They also established
two bible studies in Fairford and Little Rissington, England
from 1990 -1991. They have two children, Katherine, a Worship
Leader and Opera Singer in Los Angeles, and David, 17, a junior
in high school, and an athlete.
The Talleys were ordained in June,
1992, in Columbus, Ohio. In 1994, House of Prayer began services
near Mission and Ajo roads. The owner sold the building in
1995, and House of Prayer relocated twice while building a
new church.

of Prayer for 12 years. They have three children, Dominique,17,
Rachel, 9, and Julian 7.

Church of the
Living God International
Our denomination, Church of the Living
God, was formed in 1889 in Wrightsville, Arkansas, The Great
Lakes Diocese (region) of the church was incorporated in Columbus,
Ohio in 1923. In 1979, God led Pastor Joseph White to establish
many churches throughout Ohio. He was appointed Bishop of
the Great Lakes Diocese in 1981.
Since 1986, many more churches have
been established throughout the United States, Europe, Africa,
and South America. The Great Lakes Diocese reorganized as
the Church of the Living God International in 1995, with Joseph
White as the presiding bishop.
