Firehouse Underground

Hidden in the basement of the Gourley Building in downtown Sioux Falls, lives a coffeehouse ministry called Firehouse Underground. Designed as a gathering place for youth & young adults, it’s nightly purpose is to be a positive place to hang out, offering live music, free popcorn, and a wide assortment of games to play. As a testament to this effort, we were voted #1 in the teen entertainment category through “The Local Best,” an honor we’ve received 3 years in a row.

Firehouse's Mission

To create a gathering place in the community that offers conversation and acceptance offered by caring people that love Jesus Christ as their Lord.

Because Firehouse was founded as a Christian ministry, a strong emphasis on the needs and brokenness of our guests birthed a style of ministry that can be best described as relationship-driven. Business is done with a listening ear, investing time in those who come, and accepting them as they are. Sometimes, through a natural progression of personal conversation, an opportunity to pray one-on-one arises. Which leads us to the ministry of UHOP…

UHOP: Underground House of Prayer

UHOP underground house of prayer Simply put, a house of prayer is a gathering place for worship & prayer. There are thousands of HOP’s being raised up all across the earth as part of a global prayer movement. The Lord moved upon our hearts two years ago to move in this direction and we have been faithful to that call.

UHOP is a ministry of Firehouse. It is open the same hours as the coffeehouse, but functions in a completely different way. Time spent in the prayer room is vertical in nature as you “draw near to God and He draws near to you,” James 4:8. Prayer cards are available should you want to leave a request. There is a small room for private time on your knees, or a larger room for group worship and intercession.

UHOP's mission

To be a place of gathering for night and day worship and prayer.

The vision of UHOP is to be a prayer ministry that serves the body of Christ through intercession for His people, for the Lord wants the lost brought into a vibrant living church. We are committed to praying for all issues of LIFE: “for He came that we might have life and have it to the full,” John 10:10. We love Jesus and seek intimacy with Him: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all you mind,” Matthew 22:37. We gather as forerunners, watching the times and seasons: “Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober,” 1 Thess. 5:6.
