House Of Light Church International

In March 1996, the Lord spoke the vision to Bishop Morris L. Thornton Sr., Pastor. After hearing the voice of the Lord and laboring in much prayer, House of Light Church International was birthed. This church began in Bishop Thornton's home with seven (7) people in attendance at the first meeting. The church was organized and structured. This church meets twice weekly; on Sunday for praise/worship and Wednesday nights for prayer/bible study. Three months later, the church had outgrown Bishop Thornton's home. It was time to move; so the church moved to another house in June 1996, where it remained for four years.

The church moved a third time in June 2000 to another building where it dwelt for six years until the completion of the new edifice in June 2006. Bishop Thornton is a pioneer and a man of great faith who believes that there is nothing too hard for the Lord, and that he can do all things through Christ who gives him strength. Bishop Thornton continues to walk by faith, not by sight.

House of Light Church International's main focus is leading people into the saving knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and empowering them to live victorious lives through the Word of God. It is our goal to build people of purpose, prayer, power and praise so that they can glorify God in every area of their lives.
