Vision for Praise Place
Ministries
Our vision is to share the Good News of the saving
power of our Savior Jesus Christ. Our desire
is to equip and enable people to become a vital part of the Kingdom of God. Our goal is to work in partnership with
other ministries to train people and bring transformation to Christ’s
Kingdom.
In these times it is vital that we experience a
deeper and more intimate relationship with Jesus. We can then be filled and equipped to move
in God’s power on the earth.
Through an understanding of Old and New Testament
models of worship, we provide training pertaining to the arts and
worship. We were created to worship
the Creator. As we participate in the
arts, our hope is that the glory of God would be manifested in our praise.
Mission for Praise Place Ministries
The Mission of Praise Place Ministries is to
proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to praise and glorify the name of the
Lord, to edify the church through strong doctrinal teaching of the Word of
God, and to encourage the development of the gifts of the Holy Spirit along
with the various talents and abilities of God’s people.
About Our Ministry
Chuck and Jody founded Praise Place
Church in Norman,
