The Ellettsville House of Prayer started in 1983 when a group of believers rented the old Stewart Tabernacle building on N. Smith Pike in Ellettsville, IN. The church was an extension of the Lewisville House of Prayer, which is located in Lewisville, In., just 40 miles east of Indianapolis, which at the time was pastured by Meril and Jeanette McBride. 
The first pastors appointed to the small church were Jammie and Mary Jane Johnson, from Hagerstown, In. (Feb. 1983 – Jan. 1983) In. Nov. 1983 Phil and Shelly Harris from Anderson In. were appointed as pastors until Jan. 1984. Terry and Esa Everroads from Martinsville began their pastorate in Jan 1984 – Oct. 1984.
Following Terry and Esa, were Bruce and Karen Wheeler. They came in Nov. 1984 and moved the church from the Old Steward Tabernacle building, and began meeting at Terry’s in Westbury village. The church was renamed, Living Waters, in which Bruce and Karen still pastor today!
In the summer of 1991, a few people left Living Waters to reorganize the House of Prayer, as we know it today. Gary and Beverly Plummer were chosen to be the pastors, as the church met in homes and basements, until finally renting the “Little House” on Temperence St. in Ellettsville, in Oct. of 1991.
Four months later, in Feb. of 1992, Steve and Donna Mitchell became the pastors of the little church. In May of 1993, the church moved into the “Warehouse” behind Big Red Harley-Davidson. With more room, the church finally started to grow into an average of 35 -55 on any given Sun. morning.
Things started really happening when Leon and Violet Mitchell, along with Bill and Phylis Mitchell, (Grandparents and parents to Steve and Larry Mitchell) gave the church 305 Acres of ground on N. Hartstrait Rd, just south of Ellettsville. 
Ground was broken and we began to build God’s House of Prayer. The church had come a long way, but many of the prophecies that had been spoken had not been fulfilled. 
God’s number of completeness is seven. Before the church had moved to its present location in March of 1994, in Nov. of 1993, God appointed and anointed Larry Mitchell as the 7th pastor of the little flock, and almost immediately, prophecies began to be fulfilled and the church began to experience growth!
In Aug. Of 2004 Pastor Larry Mitchell and Pastor Darren Burton were reunited after more than 20 years. Prophecies were being fulfilled as Pastor Larry ordained Pastor Darren in Nov. of 2004, who then opened the next House of Prayer in Orleans, In.
In Feb. of 2005 the Orange County House of Prayer was born. Pastored by Darren and Sherrie Burton, the church opened up in an old Presbyterian church, built in 1900, on Jackson St. in Orleans, In.
