Our Story & Why We Gather
Who we are.
At Home Church, we’re not cultivating something new for God. We’re entering into what he is already doing in Kingston and beyond—gathering a people from every tribe, tongue, and background into one family through Jesus Christ.
Our part is not to build something flashy or exclusive, but to reflect the compassion of Christ toward those who are searching for belonging. That means paying close attention to the kind of space we’re creating—not just physically, but relationally, culturally, and spiritually. Even the most well-meaning churches can unintentionally reflect only one story, one background, or one way of doing things. And when that happens, others may feel invisible or out of place. It’s not enough to open the doors and say, “All are welcome.” We must also ask, “Who is this space truly built for?”
But let’s be clear: the answer is not simply more cultural awareness or better hospitality—though those things matter. The answer is the gospel of Jesus Christ. Only the gospel has the power to break down dividing walls, reconcile us to God and to one another, and create a new kind of community where no one needs to leave their identity at the door. Culture matters, but Christ is central. He is the one who makes strangers into family.
Our name reflects our heartbeat: to be a spiritual home for those who feel like they don’t quite fit elsewhere. Whether you’re from here, moved here, or feel like you live in between worlds—we want you to find rest, belonging, and purpose in Jesus Christ with us.
