A church founded in Chennai in 1996 with one vision: where people matter.
It's not a Sunday morning thing, but an expression of who we are throughout the week — a community through which we love, encourage and help others find meaning in life.
In a world where the media tells people they're not good, beautiful, or successful enough, we at Powerhouse aim to let people know they matter. We strive to create a space for people to come as they are and find love, encouragement and meaning in life.
Believing that we as followers of Jesus ought to move outwards — into the world — we observe and respond to what's happening around us. Our community also longs to show people that God has a plan and purpose for their lives.
Powerhouse Church is an English-speaking, evangelical, non-denominational church in Aminjikarai, Chennai, meeting every Sunday at 10:00 AM since 1996.
Powerhouse dreams to be a place where people can find love, encouragement and meaning for their lives. We are here to listen to the heartbeat of the people in the city and respond to it.
Powerhouse is a place where people matter — come as you are and be yourself!
Belong, Believe, Become are the three principles that guide us as we welcome people from all backgrounds and walks of life. You can come as you are and belong here! As you begin to experience and believe in Christ's life-transforming power you will see the amazing plans He has for you unfold as He leads you to become the person you were meant to be.
Powerhouse is a place where people matter… come as you are and be yourself!

Seven values that shape how we live, love and serve.
Religion is often linked to pretentiousness. But being non-religious, we aim to let people feel accepted without forcing them to first wear an 'acceptable' mask. There's no pressure to perform — explore Christ's teachings in a grace-filled atmosphere.
With our tagline 'Where people matter', we seek to create strong, impactful relationships where people know they are loved and needed. We're more of a family than a pious congregation — we live life together, help each other, and have loads of fun!
We believe not just in keeping up with changes, but pioneering them. Using the arts, technology and innovative ideas, we constantly find new ways to infuse the unchanging Word of God into our ever-changing lives.
Life isn't meant to be compartmentalised into the 'sacred' and 'secular'. Believing that all we think, say and do ought to reflect Christ himself, we're willing to stand for what's true and what liberates, even if it's not what's popular.
The church isn't a building, but a group of people instructed to spread the Good News. Sometimes through words, sometimes through actions and sometimes through silence, we help bring healing into a world desperately trying to numb the pain.
At Powerhouse, there's no barrier between the clergy and laity. Everyone has a part to play as we discover our God-given talents as individuals and as a community. We encourage and equip each other to serve better and pass on what we learn.
We believe in identifying, nurturing and releasing people into their God-given calling and purpose. Everyone has something to contribute — we help you find it and live it out.
Powerhouse is an evangelical, non-denominational church. Our statement of faith covers the essentials of the Christian faith.
Come and experience it for yourself. You're welcome exactly as you are.
