Our Story
Just Like God
Isaiah 55:8 reminds us that God's thoughts are higher than ours. He asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac and Hosea to marry a prostitute, so it's not surprising He directed us to start a church during a pandemic. That's just like God!
​
Glory House began as Life Center International East, a church plant of Life Center International Ministries led by Apostle Terrell Murphy. Marquis was appointed pastor of the new church, supported by founding members who met online twice a week while attending LCI on Sundays.
A Bold Move
Launching a ministry during the COVID-19 pandemic was bold, but God works wonders! After a year of online meetings, LCI East officially started in March 2022, facing and overcoming numerous challenges in the following two years. During this period, the Lord revealed the vision of Glory House to Pastor Marquis.
A New Name
In 2024, LCI East entered a period of transition. It was a prophetic season of open doors, and the Lord laid it on Marquis' heart that part of the shift included changing the name of the ministry. Following several conversations with his spiritual father, Marquis began seeking God for a new name. There was silence for over 60 days, but the Spirit of the Lord led Marquis into a deep study of the glory of God in the late spring of 2024. Over the course of the summer, the Lord confirmed the name Glory House three different ways and the name was officially changed.
