Willow Praise Church

Welcome to Willow Praise Church! If you're not familiar with us, please allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Willow Praise Assembly of God, located off Vine Street in Willowick, Ohio. Our first Lord's Day service was held on July 11, 1993, and our grand opening service to the public was on November 21, 1993.

Church is the body of Christ believers (1 Corinthians 1-2) that seek to glorify and praise God through Jesus Christ, our savior and head of the church (Ephesians 1:22). We are only one of many gathering centers throughout the world for the church to give praise to our Savior Jesus Christ.

Willow Praise Church

By God's grace, we are here to fellowship, worship, and exalt His son, Jesus Christ. It's in our name. Praise. We exist to praise the Lord for sending His son, Jesus, to be our savior and source of light in a dark world of sinners. Jesus is "the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). We also praise Him for all of His good work and glory in our lives. And with all of the good done through our earthen vessels, we glorify Him with and for it.

A variety of weekly and annual community activities are hosted at Willow Praise to build eternal relationships that we can take with us to heaven. Please view our events calendar, listings, and weekly bulletin to stay current with church activities.

We are a Bible believing fellowship that is commissioned to bring in, build up, and launch out God's people to fulfill the purpose God has for them. We have a heart to reach out and go out to be His hands and feet. At Willow Praise we want to provide the community of Northeast Ohio with a Spirit-filled church that is experiencing God's presence, power, and purpose for His people today. Our prayer is to be a fellowship that is demonstrating the Spirit's power in these last days. Power encounters can be experienced when people are in the presence of God and yielding their lives completely to His will.

Please feel free to contact our church office at 440-944-5683. Our church office is open and willing to serve you Tuesday-Friday from 9:00am-1:00pm. Willow Praise is an Assemblies of God church, and a part of the Ohio Ministry Network, and the Regional NE Ohio Ministry Network of churches.
