House of Prayer and Spirituality: an oasis of solitude and prayer

The House of Prayer and Spirituality, nestled against the beautiful Anderson Park Botanical gardens, is a focus for contemplation, stillness and prayer in the centre of Townsville. It is an oasis of solitude and prayer with extensive garden settings, a simple and comfortable chapel, individual bedrooms with shared bathroom, kitchen

facilities and library with books and CDs. The community of the House of Prayer maintains the contemplative atmosphere of the House which is supported by a regular rhythm and pattern of prayer. Established in 1981 in response to the needs of those searching for a deep personal relationship with God, the 30 year history of the ministry and the community of the House has been one of growth and change. The one constant has been the vision at its heart: "Be still and know that I am God."
