Life can look full and still feel thin. Legacy House is a church for people who want more than a full calendar. We want a life rooted in Jesus and shared with others.
To see Metro Detroit saturated with disciples who love God deeply, love each other genuinely, and love the community faithfully. (Jn. 14:6; Mk. 12:30-31; 2 Cor. 5:18-20)
Legacy House exists to create environments where people can honestly connect with God and each other, and live on mission together.
Legacy Homes are where we grow together through the week. Legacy Sundays, beginning September 2027 in Royal Oak, are where we all come together. (Acts 2:42-47; Acts 6:1-7; Heb. 10:24-25)
Lead Pastor & Elder
Andrew and his wife, Quela, live in Metro Detroit with their four kids. He spent five years in pastoral ministry, serves as Chief Strategy Officer at House of Providence, and holds a Master's in Biblical Studies from Moody Bible Institute. What drives him is simple. Love God, love your family, and love the people around you.
Assistant Pastor
Tyler has served as a pastor for nearly ten years and studied at Oral Roberts University. He and his wife, Beverly, help lead a Legacy Home on the first and third Friday nights. Outside of ministry, Tyler loves fitness, movies, and anything to do with The Lord of the Rings.
Elder
Ricardo and his wife, Emily, have been married for nearly 20 years and have seven children. He is passionate about authentic community and strong families, and about encouraging men to lead with faith, integrity, and humility. Together they lead a Legacy Home on the first and third Sunday nights.
Legacy House is led by a plurality of elders, with the lead pastor serving as first among equals, and sent out by our sending church, Rhiza Church. We want Legacy House built on health and not just vision.
Elders hold spiritual oversight of the church. They guard and give shape to our direction, our doctrine, and our discipline, and they meet the qualifications Scripture describes for this role.
1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9, 1 Peter 5:1-4, Acts 20:17-35Pastors lead the everyday life of the church. They preach, shepherd our people, and train the leaders of our Legacy Homes and teams.
Ephesians 4:11-12, 1 Peter 5:2-3In the early church, deacons were appointed to care for people’s practical needs so the work of the gospel could keep moving. As Legacy House grows, we will appoint deacons full of faith and the Holy Spirit to serve our church family and help steward our ministries.
Acts 6:1-7, 1 Timothy 3:8-13Like the church in Antioch sending out Barnabas and Paul, Rhiza Church is praying for us, sending us, and walking with us as we plant. (Acts 13:1-3)
