Our Father's House is a ministry that thrives within the Anglican tradition, led by our founder, an Anglican Priest, Reverend Raff Chaves. While we operate within the Anglican structure - ensuring spiritual accountability, sound doctrine, and faithful leadership - we are also ecumenical in heart and practice.

1. The Bible
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17). It is the final authority in all matters of faith and life.
2. The Creeds
We affirm the historic Christian faith as expressed in the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed. These creeds summarize the ess
1. The Bible
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17). It is the final authority in all matters of faith and life.
2. The Creeds
We affirm the historic Christian faith as expressed in the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed. These creeds summarize the essential doctrines of Christianity and unite us with the historic, global Church.
3. God
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). He is sovereign, holy, and worthy of all worship.
4. Jesus Christ
We believe in the full deity and humanity of Jesus Christ (John 1:1, 14). He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as the atoning sacrifice for our sins, rose bodily from the grave, and will return in power and glory (1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Acts 1:11).
5. The Holy Spirit
We believe in the present work of the Holy Spirit, who convicts of sin, regenerates hearts, indwells believers, and empowers them to live a godly life (John 16:8, Galatians 5:22-23).
6. Salvation
We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). All who repent and believe in Jesus Christ are justified, forgiven, and made new (Romans 10:9-10, 2 Corinthians 5:17).
7. The Church
We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, made up of all true believers (Ephesians 1:22-23). The Church is called to worship God, proclaim the Gospel, and make disciples (Matthew 28:19-20).
8. The Return of Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly to establish His kingdom (Revelation 22:12). He will judge the living and the dead, and His reign will be everlasting.
9. Human Nature and Redemption
We believe that all people are created in the image of God but are fallen and in need of redemption (Genesis 1:27, Romans 3:23). Through Christ, those who turn to Him in faith are restored and set free from the bondage of sin.
10. Addiction and Transformation
We believe that addiction is a manifestation of our brokenness, and true healing is found in Jesus Christ. Through the power of the Gospel, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the support of the Church, those struggling with addiction can experience freedom, renewal, and restoration (John 8:36, 2 Corinthians 5:17).
11. The Mission of Our Ministry
We are committed to proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ, discipling believers, and providing biblical support for those struggling with addiction. Our mission is to see lives transformed by the power of God for His glory.
We must remember not to get carried away by religious enthusiasm alone, as addiction remains a constant challenge.

We must remember not to get carried away by religious enthusiasm alone, as addiction remains a constant challenge.
We've witnessed people leave recovery meetings and face relapse. Some who attend meetings regularly, regardless of their faith, find stable recovery. Others, despite accepting Christ, struggle to break free from their addiction and can't maintain significant clean time when they stop attending meetings.
At Our Father's House, we strongly encourage members to stay connected to 12-step fellowships like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. These proven programs provide essential grounding in the shared battle against addiction.
Our ministry builds upon these steps, which we consider divine guidance for life. We support your recovery journey by adding the transformative power of faith to this solid foundation.
Keep returning to both your meetings and your faith community – they work together for your recovery.
KEEP COMING BACK!
