  • We are a community which exists to worship God, fulfill His mission, and grow in the knowledge and love of Christ.

Our Mission

We live as those who are sent to make disciples.


We live as those who are sent. Just as the Father sent the Son into the world, so too the Son has sent his church into the world. Therefore, to live as a disciple means that we live on mission with Jesus. This will be expressed as disciples adopt the posture of a missionary – to learn, listen to and love the culture locally and globally. In doing so, the church announces the salvation accomplished by the Son through the proclamation of the gospel while working and praying for the advancement of God’s kingdom.


Growth

We strive to grow in knowledge and love of God and people.


We cannot properly worship, serve or proclaim a God that we do not know. Therefore, we strive to create a culture devoted to Scriptural study in order to help us grow in our love for Jesus and people. We must view the world and culture through the story of the Scriptures. We realize that we must become practical theologians if we are serious about being missional disciples in today’s culture.

Community

We strive to be an authentic community.


We are created to exist in community. As those created in the image of God, we reflect the triune nature of God who exists in perfect community as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This means that church is not intended to be a loose collection of spiritually minded people, but a family of worshippers that reflect the image of God, unified in Jesus. This community will be visible as people love and serve each other and their neighbors. This is where the gospel comes to life.



Worship

We exist to worship God.



Understanding that God is our Creator and Gracious Redeemer gives us purpose and direction in life. Therefore, our desire is to proclaim the beauty and majesty of God – to show that he is worthy of our worship in all we do and with all we are.

Welcome!

I was born in Ukraine where I grew up as a child and in 1998, I moved to Fresno, CA with my parents. I grew up in a Christian family and my parents had a significant impact on my faith. They’ve taught me to love Jesus, to love the Bible and to be faithful to God’s guidance. I grew up attending House of the Gospel. I was baptized in this church and it is here that I have learned to love God and to love people.

   One of my long-time passions is teaching. I received my Teaching Credentials from Fresno Pacific University and began my profession as a teacher in a local high school. Meanwhile, I always continued to be involved in various ministries at the church and was hearing God calling me to be in leadership at the church. I enjoy preaching God’s word; I enjoy sitting down with people over a cup of coffee and having conversations about their walk with God and growing together with the church community. In 2019, I became a lead pastor of House of the Gospel. In 2010, I married my wife, Inna. We have a son, Ian and another son on the way.

Hope for House of the Gospel My dream for this church to be a place where the hurting, the hopeless, the discouraged, the depressed, the frustrated and confused can find love, acceptance, guidance, and encouragement. It is so that we would be a family of men and women who know and worship Jesus. It is the dream of church members growing together in spiritual maturity – loving, laughing, and learning together, understanding God’s wonderful plan, and faithfully serving God.
