30 Thanksgiving Thank Yous-Thankful For The Home Church in Campbell CA
by Campbell REALTOR® Michelle Carr Crowe
I am grateful to be part of the family of God at The Home Church in Campbell, Calif.
Since 1989 I've attended The Home Church. It's a basic Bible-believing church. Everyone is encouraged to read the Bible and share what we learn with one another, and to love and pray for each other-both people inside and outside of the church.
Some of reasons I am thankful for The Home Church are we:
1) Practice Financial Accountability. That means no buying of church property or supplies on credit. If and when God intends The Home Church to have it, God will (and did) provide. For example, since purchasing the initial property on the site, the leaders had a vision that eventually God would grow us to own all of the properties on the site-which did happen just a few years ago-Hallelujah!
2) Preach Biblical Truth. Pastors Mike Kiely and son Judah Kiely preach the truth from the Bible as they understand it with love. Sometimes a message can be hard to hear, yet it’s delivered in a spirit of love and parental protection.
3) Worship With New and Traditional Music. Music, praise and worship are integral to our service. I love the mix of new music with traditional hymns.
4) Share God’s Love. 1 Corinthians 13 says "If I give away all that I have, but have not love I am like a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." The Home Church is the family of God. It’s not perfect, yet it is a loving, safe place for each of us to be ourselves.
5) Reflect Our Multicultural World. Personally I believe heaven will be filled with every color and type of people and the church of today should reflect the good things to come. Questions are welcome. I’m thankful that we have Chinese, Ethiopian and Spanish pastors and ministry as well as home groups, support for prisoners, and missionaries in India, Samoa, Hawaii and more.
No church is perfect, as it's made up of fallible human beings like me. Yet I am thankful to Jesus, Father God and the Holy Spirit for leading me to The Home Church in Campbell 25 years ago.
