Our Story

Praise House began in May 1994 at Brixton Hill under the leadership of Damian and Sandra Luke.

Praise House over the years, since it began has seen God use this body of believers to pioneer many initiatives within the United Kingdom and abroad with commitment on propagation of the Gospel, building believers, pastoral care and humanitarian aid.

Praise House has grown in both reach and activity, becoming a thriving community church that reflects the rich cultural diversity of Croydon and its surrounding areas.
