A Special Message from TCE Founder, Jay Heilman on House of Worship:

“Prepare to be absolutely mesmerized! Getting to watch the breathtaking visual representation of the House of Worship event was an emotional, powerful experience that I can only describe as remarkable. Hearing these iconic anthems—originally released in audio this past January—is one thing, but seeing them brought to life on the big screen takes it to an entirely different, phenomenal level.

As I sat and watched, it completely transported me back to the genesis of my own walk with Jesus. Songs that were so instrumental in encouraging, leading, and guiding me in those crucial early days, like ‘Open The Eyes of my Heart,’ ‘Heart of Worship,’ ‘Shout to the Lord,’ and ‘Everlasting God,’ filled the theater and brought so much emotion to the surface. It was a profound reminder of the day I first invited Christ into my heart, and the two decades of ministry I’ve built since then over these last twenty years.

“But House of Worship is so much more than a powerful trip down memory lane! It is an awe-inspiring celebration of the greatest worship leaders from both today and yesterday, assembled on one incredible all-star stage. The sheer talent is mesmerizing, and the entire event is presented in a way that beautifully and truly bridges the gap between today’s worship music and the biggest anthems of the church, allowing them all to shine together.

“You do not want to miss this! I urge you to make the trek to the theaters this weekend and take part in this truly phenomenal worship experience. Don’t just go to watch a movie—go to be incredibly blessed and to experience the presence of God alongside a body of believers on the big screen! Get your tickets now!”
