Home Church is a multi-generational, diverse, vibrant, Pentecostal Church with a heart and vision to see God impact the South West of England. Situated in Torbay Home Church started in May 1995 with a dozen faithfilled people and now has grown to reach hundreds of people who call Home Church their home. We have so much that happens throughout the week and on Sundays for every age and there is a place for you!
Home Churches Foundation verse is Isaiah 61;
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord’s favor has come, and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies. To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory. They will rebuild the ancient ruins, repairing cities destroyed long ago. They will revive them, though they have been deserted for many generations.
