The founders saw  this church building as a HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL PEOPLE.
Mark 11:17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer?
Isaiah 56:7 ...for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

Miss Osie preaching in the pulpit of the "large house of prayer" after the dedication of the building and just before she and her team left Intercession City in May of 1948, for Fellowship Front, Sanford, FL.
Below are pictures of rebuilding this LARGE HOUSE OF PRAYER on England Blvd. due to the 1944 hurricane.
In 1944, BEFORE the church building on Tallahasse Blvd. (then called England Blvd) was finished being built, rebuilt and named,
"Household of Faith Mission" or "Morrison Memorial" or the "Community Wesleyan Church", it was referred to as, "This Large House of Prayer."
This photo from the La Palmera year book is proof that Tallahassee Blvd was named England Blvd.
In the 3rd paragraph, 1st sentence, Mr. Maddy, the Editor of the DEFENDER OF THE FAITH magazine, in his appeal for funds to rebuild the  new structure they had been building and that was damaged from the hurricane as this, "large house of prayer." He didn't call it the "Household of Faith Mission Church" or "Morrison Memorial" or the :"Community Wesleyan Church," but he referred to it as the large building that was built for the purpose of praying was a "LARGE HOUSE OF PRAYER" or "LHOP." This is prophetic because this is what Jesus called His Father's house (the Temple in Jerusalem) according to Mark 11:17, Isaiah 56:7...my house of prayer...for all people.
