Vision
A Full-time Worship Center to worship the living God “in spirit and in truth.” (John 4: 24). It is time to return to God’s pattern for worship where it was available at all times in the form of Tabernacle or Temple filled with the Shekinah glory of the LORD. 2 Chronicles 5: 13-14
Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.” Hebrews 13: 15
“Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, and His praise in the assembly of saints.” Psalm 149: 1
We were created by God to worship Him. Genesis 1:27 Those closest to God worship Him fulltime: Revelation 4: 1-11
Prayer, Praise, and Worship are mighty for battle and bringing down strongholds: 2 Chronicles 20:15-24 , Ephesians 6:18
In these end times, the Spirit of the Living God is planting a vision in believers’ hearts for 24/7 Worship. Jesus Christ Fellowship, in Lake County, CA, has birthed this vision and has purchased land near Middletown, CA (about 100 miles north of San Francisco), for our own 24/7, to be called Worship Central. As an encouragement to believers in Jesus Christ, this website lists the ongoing vision and development of our own Worship Central and others that God is raising up.
Please pray for the 24/7 Worship Centers as God Continues to raise-up His Worshipers for such a time as this. We pray in the holy name of Yeshua Hamashiach,Jesus the Messiah, the Christ of the Living God, that they will flourish and He will continually give us strategies to defeat the plans of the enemy.
Plans are underway to build a simple but beautiful 24-hour/7-days-a-week worship center. The proposed site consists of 26 acres located on State Highway 175 just outside of Middletown. We are about two hours from the San Francisco Bay Area or Sacramento, and about one hour from either Ukiah or Santa Rosa. The site is within a mile or so of the “geysers,” a subterranean source of geothermal energy currently visited by tourists to Lake County.
Paralleling the physical geysers, in God’s timing, we envision a worship center that will be a spiritual geyser for Christ, a doorway into the heavenlies, open to all, whether they are believers in Christ or not. The Bible says “God inhabits the praises of His people.” We sincerely believe as we open our doors to worship Him continuously, the darkness of the world around will be pushed back by the presence of God’s glory. People locally and from the nearby regions will have hope for a new life in Christ, refreshed by the beauty of the site and the power of continuous, open Prayer and worship.
The participants in Jesus Christ Fellowship in Middletown will be stewards of the site. They will worship there on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights. However, the Center is intended to be a sanctuary and a unique destination for believers attracted to the “spiritual geyser” we believe the Lord will create. The extraordinary beauty of the site will refresh all worshippers and confirm God’s awesome love for each of us. (Psalm 95)
We see hundreds of Holy Spirit-filled worship teams from all Christian denominations, throughout central and Northern California, offering their worship team on a particular calendar day to fulfill this vision. As the calendar days fill up with Worship Teams, 24/7 Worship will be an everyday reality, as it is in Heaven (Revelation, Chapters 4 & 5). 24/7 Worship will help to build unity of the spirit in the body of Christ: ( Ephesians 4: 3-5, John 17).
Scripture bears witness to the power and appropriateness of continuous worship to our Creator. Those closest to God worship Him full-time. (Revelation 4: 1-11) Verse 8 says: “And they do not rest day or night, saying: ‘Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!’” As well, God’s Holy Word in Luke 24: 52-53 says: “And they worshipped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God.” Similarly, “And day after day they regularly assembled in the temple with united purpose, and in their homes they broke bread.”
(Acts 2: 26)
There are dozens if not hundreds of other Scriptures relevant to the vision, such as Psalm 84: 1-4: “How lovely is Your tabernacle, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, yes, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.” All of Psalm 150 and the first verse of 149 are other examples among many: “Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, and His praise in the assembly of saints.”
(Psalm 149: 1)
We sincerely believe that the troubled times we live in call for a Christ-centered, worship-filled new song to our Creator instead of the dead aspects of legalistic religion that have turned many away from the indwelling Christ. As we seek to fulfill our vision, we believe that the living God will bless our humble response beyond our imaginations: “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.”
(1 Corinthians 2: 9)
Confirming this vision, 24/7 Christian worship centers are now springing up throughout the world, from the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, Missouri, to Emmaus Way in Tiberias, Israel. (See Worship Centers for details.) According to the International House of Prayer, “the Holy Spirit is orchestrating a global prayer strategy far eclipsing any other prayer movement in history, resulting in an unprecedented harvest of souls completing the Great Commission. In cities throughout the earth, it will become common to hear of intercessory worship ministries that continue non-stop 24 -hours-a-day in the spirit of the Tabernacle of David.”
