How
We
Serve
Our
Youth
Children are welcome and included in our church services. We teach our children to participate in services and to find joy in praising God, as we are instructed in Ecclesiastes 12:1, “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.” Beginning at age 3, children are able to participate in Sunday School, after the morning service. Many children begin learning musical instruments and displaying their talents during musical programs. In celebration of our Church Holidays, our Holy Days, a special emphasis is placed on our children receiving modest gifts and treats.
The growth of the youth is often guided by their participation in our youth auxiliary. This organization creates opportunities for fellowship, provides the youth with skills that carry past their church services, and gives them an opportunity to express what God has placed in their hearts. The 3rd Sunday of the month is Young Missionaries service. We also host a Summer Camp for children ages 13-17, which allows the youth to meet their peers from our church missions across the country, form long-lasting friendships, and foremost, strengthen their relationship with God.
“As a young person growing up, I often found myself wondering what my purpose was and where I truly belonged. I didn’t feel like I had anyone to relate to until I attended our church’s summer camp in 2014. I can honestly say it changed my life. The people there made me feel so welcome, and finally I met people that made me feel seen. I’m so thankful for this church family and the way God continues to work in all of our lives.”

Our
Adults
Our adult members form the backbone of the church, actively contributing to its spiritual and operational growth. They lead by example, demonstrating faith through their work in various auxiliaries, ministries, and outreach programs. Whether teaching Bible School classes, supporting youth initiatives, or guiding the church’s mission, their dedication reflects the scripture, “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men” (Colossians 3:23). Through fellowship, prayer, and service, our adults are empowered to grow in their relationship with God and strengthen the community of believers.
"I have been a member of the Supreme Council of the House of Jacob since birth and love being part of this church family. The prayers, love, and guidance from church members of all ages and walks of life have profoundly helped me grow and find success in all areas of my life. My favorite part of our church services is the testimony service. Hearing others share wisdom about situations they’ve overcome or support they need always gives me a sense of connection as we navigate the challenges of life. I’ve lived in and traveled to various parts of the country, but one thing is always certain — I make sure there’s a House of Jacob church nearby. "

"The warmth and kindness of the members created a safe space for me to explore my faith. The sermons are both inspiring and relatable, addressing real-life challenges while providing biblical wisdom. Participating in the Young Missionaries organization has not only strengthened my faith but has also allowed me to build meaningful connections with others. I have witnessed the power of prayer and the impact of community service through this church. I encourage anyone searching for a place to belong to visit The Supreme Council of the House of Jacob. Here, you will find not only a church but also a family that supports each other in faith, love, and service."

Our
Seniors
We honor the wisdom and legacy of our senior members, guided by the scripture, “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set” (Proverbs 22:28). On the 5th Sunday of the month, we celebrate Senior Saints Day, a special service where our seniors lead the congregation in preaching and prayer. They serve as mentors to the youth, sharing their experiences and guiding the next generation in faith. Many of our seniors also play vital roles in teaching Bible school and leading auxiliary meetings, ensuring that their knowledge and devotion continue to strengthen the church community.
"At a young age, I visited many different religions, but after asking God to help me, He
sent me my now wife at the age of 15. With a lot of time, patience, and work; good
times along with sufferings also, the Lord remained in my heart to carry me through. I
am blessed to still be a member of The Supreme Council of The House of Jacob at the
age of 68."

"The church is my heart and soul. It is where I receive my spiritual growth and support and fellowship with my brothers and sisters in the Lord. I love to praise the Lord and by doing so, I receive so much JOY!"
