History
Casa de Dios was founded on September 11, 1994 by Pastor Carlos "Cash" Luna and his wife Sonia Luna. The Church grew very quickly with a Bible based doctrine of values and principles. Its main focus is on the transformational experience of the Holy Spirit. The teaching focuses on God's promises, Faith, Hope, Integrity, Honor and family values. The church moved from a family living room to a hotel ballroom and then to the main auditorium of the Chamber of Industry of Guatemala. Finally, in 1995 the church moved to a building known as "La Bodeguita" in Boulevard Los Proceres in Guatemala City where every night parishioners and viewers experienced the revival that became one of the main characteristics of the church. "La bodeguita" had 550 seats, but only 3 parking lots.
In July 1999, construction began on a new sanctuary with capacity for 3,500 people. By November 2008, than 20,000 people were attending one of five Sunday services. Construction of a new sanctuary called "Ciudad de Dios", with capacity for 11,000 people, began in January 2008.
