Army."

music, film, and video across all Christian genres. In addition to networking
with successful Christian authors, participants will have the opportunity to

Publishing.

About A Church Called
Home: Someone once said, “The hardest thing to find in a home
today is a
family.” The members of a healthy home pray together, invite friends over,
support one another, and are committed to each other’s well-being.
Whether you
come from a great home, a terrible home or no home at all – home (family)
is
something God has placed in the heart of each of us. And the
way we see it, a healthy church
should resemble a healthy home. The Bible constantly compares the church to a
family – God is our Heavenly Father, we are His children. Our vision is to
create environments that look, feel and function like a healthy
home. Times and locations of our gatherings are
listed on our web site. A Church Called
Home launches September 9th in the Halls Cinema 7 in North
Knoxville. To find out more visit us
