Relationship to God is our top priority, recognized by the death and ressurection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Meaningful relationship with one another is the result of our love and obedience to our God. Helping our neighbors is how we relate to our community.
He has established our feet.
After years of waiting upon the Lord, He gave His instructions,
“I will build a house, a place where people would love me with all passion, prayer and intelligence, serving one another and reaching out to their community. A house of prayer, a house of worship, for all people, for all nations.”
We are ordinary people who wants to make extraordinary work in our community by leading and teaching individual lives to love and serve God with all passions and prayer. My Father's House is a multi-culture church and if you are looking for a house drenched in the presence of God, a congregation who wants to dwell in the presence of God; who enjoys learning and obeying the word of God, a place to serve King Jesus, come and join us every Sunday at 3:00 o'clock p.m. at My Father's House Church.

Pastor David C. Alvarez is currently pastoring a church in Downriver area called My Father's House Church now with its new location at 5304 Wayne Rd, Wayne MI 48184. His burden for the souls of the Filipino community in this part of Michigan led him to answer the call of God in his life as a pastor. MFHC gave birth in his spirit in 2004 when he played with his Filipino band called Friends and Families at an annual celebration of Rizal Day, a gathering of more than 50 different Filipino organizations at Cobo Hall. A prompting of the Holy Spirit gave Pastor Dave the desire to minister to his own people preserving the traditional values of God fearing, people loving Filipino culture.
In December of 2005, Pastor Will McCulloch of Word of Grace Church was used by God to open a door for Pastor Dave and graciously allowed him to utilize the building that he was leasing for a morning service. As God moved the hearts of the owner of the building for an evening service, Pastor Dave, together with his wife Lynn and children, who are all in ministry, went to the church building for the whole month of January for praise & worship, prayer and consecration. My Father's House Church was officially opened for the Filipino Community and other ethnic race on the first Sunday of February that year. Six months later, the building closed. However, God did not forsake His servant and directed him to the He-Brews Coffee House Ministry on South Telegraph. My Father's House Church is a fulfillment of his calling at this season of his life as a servant of the Lord.

In 1982, Pastor David Alvarez accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, filled with the Holy Spirit, and immediately called to work fulltime in the ministry. It was a fast growing non-denominational church pastored by Rev. Jonathan and Vicky Sebastian, called The JCS (Jesus Christ Saves Global) Outreach in Quezon City, Philippines. He ministered as a worship leader and the music director of the church. He met Lynn Sabangan during college days at the University of the Philippines; college of music, and in 1984 married and had three children, Kristine, Zee and Dave III. Both Kristine and Zaneta (Zee) were born in the Philippines in 1986 and 1987 with David III in 1995 who was born in Long Island, New York. And this completed The Alvarez Household of Faith.
In 1989, they moved to the United States with Lynn's parents in Brooklyn. Two months later, was led to join a multi ethnic church in Brooklyn. The Love Assembly of Brooklyn, pastored by Jay O'Hara, petitioned pastor Dave as Worship pastor. Subsequently, there were other pioneering churches that he worked with as music director and worship leader- Jesus Revival Center, with pastor Wayne and Gloria Reyes; The Spirit of Jesus Evangelistic, with pastor Ray and Dolores Ayling; Faith That Pleases God Church, with pastor Elcio and Brunie Salgado all in Brooklyn area, and Living Word Church, with pastor Joel Sadaphal in Queens area. 1989 until 2001 made the preparation for the Alvarez' family to embark a journey for a new assignment soon to be opened as ministers in Michigan.
A beloved of God, a servant who started serving as a pastor's side person, an anointed worship leader for more than 20 years, a teacher and now the founding pastor. From the Philippines, New York City to Detroit metro area, Pastor Dave's heart is to continue to love God wit all passion, serve His people and make a difference in the community.
