ABOUT US
APOP (A Place of Praise) is a church for the unchurched, a welcoming home for those outside of the mainstream of traditional orthodoxy. We are a cross-section of denominational faiths and worship styles, with love, friendship, and family at our core. At APOP, we live to bring honor to the creator, to worship Him, to love as He loves, and to live as He would have us live in service to one another and Him. Come as you are, Jesus loves you no matter what you have done, how jacked up your past is, or where you are at right now in your life. With the power of the Holy Spirit, and God's Word, anybody can change to be more like Jesus Christ in their life.
At our hearts, APOP is a church for the unchurched, a welcoming home for those outside of the mainstream of traditional orthodoxy. We are a cross-section of denominational faiths and worship styles, with love, friendship, and family at our core. At APOP, we live to bring honor to the creator, to worship Him, to love as He loves, and to live as He would have us live in service to one another and Him.
We believe in going outside the four walls into the highway and byways as Jesus said to do. So we will have in-person church services every Sunday @ 6pm, but on the last Sunday. weather permitting, we will take the church to the people. We will go out into the community with food and fun (fellowship), evangelize, and do outreach seeking to love on the lost and unsaved.
We would love to have you and your family come be apart of what God is doing at A Place of Praise!
I promise you we will try to love on you and yours just like Jesus would!!!

Sister Vickie was born in Indianapolis, IN. She graduated from Indiana University with a Bachelors in English and received a Nursing Practitioner Degree from Southern University.
Even though she has been called to lead Worship and preach the Gospel, her first love is God, then her husband and children. Sister Vickie understands God’s plan for the family and is committed to her role as help meet to her husband, and mother to her three children. She takes to heart the role of the Proverbs 31 woman very seriously and seeks to please God by aspiring to do what the Bible says a wife and mother should be.
Sister Vickie shares with her husband a love for God and a love for God’s people, which makes them an effective team in ministry. With Vickie standing firm by her husband’s side, it is evident that the church has and will continue to be blessed beyond measure.
