How It All Began...
A testimony of God’s Faithfulness to the Pentecostal House of Prayer
A Call To Plant a Church
In 1982, Pastor John Beauprey, and his wife Alice, and their family came to Wisconsin from Missouri to preach a tent revival. Following the revival, Pastor John felt God calling him to establish a church in Horicon.
Pastor John, a 1972 graduate of Mayville High School, had moved to Washington, where he became a born-again believer and met Alice. He served in ministry at Little Chapel of the Valley in Snoqualmie, Washington, and later as Assistant Pastor at Faith Temple in Lebanon, Missouri.
God eventually led him back to Horicon to share the joy, hope, and peace they had found in Jesus Christ.

Looking Back with Gratitude
As we look back, we celebrate all that God has done through the Pentecostal House of Prayer.
God has richly blessed Pastor John and Sister Alice and thier family with 4 children, 2 adopted children, 18 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren.
Looking Forward with Faith
Our story is a testimony of God’s faithfulness. What began with a tent revival and a call from God has grown into a church family committed to worshiping God, reaching people, and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We are grateful for where God has brought us - and excited for all He has yet to do.
Pastor John together with his devoted wife, Alice, dedicated their lives to founding and growing the Pentecostal House of Prayer. Their steadfast faithfulness to the ministry that God had called them to is now being carried on by their children. Pastor John and his wife have been reunited together with their Savior, but their legacy lives on in their children who continue to run and support the church ministry.
