Left to right- Phil, Clareann, Clare, Lisa, Tina Amy, Paula, Sarah, Kim, Katie
Greetings from Virginia! Above are Phil, Clareann, and 8 daughters, 6 of whom live on our little farm and in our 17 room “Double Blessing” home.We are a singing family, yet first of all a fellowship of believers in Jesus Christ who worship Him in our House Church of 45 years.
OUR STORY: When Clareann was left alone in 1980 with 7 girls ages 2-15, Phil, a bachelor, said he felt he was “sent by God to pick up where one man left off.” Amazing! They married in 1982 and he adopted all 7 Sisters. Clare, the 8th daughter, born at 1 ½ lbs. with 17 medical conditions was adopted from the NICU in 2007. Jesus heals, and at 18 she is perfectly healthy and the joy of our lives. Five of the sisters who live at home work remotely in medical jobs, and are amazing women of God. Sarah, daughter #7, runs a charitable organization in Romania and Tina, the oldest and only married sister, lives in a lovely home in PA. None of the 8 Sisters have children.
OUR MUSIC: Many of our original 2,000 songs are recorded on CDs which are heard from our travels around the world. Most are Bible verses and we credit them for helping us to stay strong on the Narrow Road. We see that God has called us as "Temple Singers" as in the families of Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun who were "under the direction of their father." Singing households "lived in the chambers" together as we do. (1 Chron 25 & 9) Also in Acts 21 Philip dwelt with his "four virgin daughters who were prophetesses." And the Phillip here has 2 more! Although our Church Family is counter to American culture, it has been a great blessing and joy to sing for the King. If anyone in the fellowship did not seem happy they were encouraged to explore other living situations to be sure of the Spirit of God’s leading in their lives. In the past a few have done so for days or weeks, and two for many years, and in this, the peace and love of Jesus reigns, for, ”Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. “ 2 Cor 3:17
OUR PURPOSE: It is our joy and honor to bring glory to our Heavenly Father and His Son for all He’s done for us as we eagerly await the return of Jesus. We believe the Bible is 100% the Word of God, and concur with the Full Gospel teachings and doctrines of Derek Prince, by whom we have grown much in our fellowship. We also believe the practice of our faith is the greatest witness to spread the Gospel, for Jesus said,“I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, that the world may know that Thou didst send Me, and didst love them, even as Thou didst love Me.”John 17:23 May God bless you to know the love and joy of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.”John 3:16

things not yet seen, in reverence prepared
an ark for the salvation of his household,
by which he condemned the world, and
became an heir of the righteousness
which is according to faith.” Heb 11:7
Jesus -"For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, they were marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark.” Matt 24:37,38 Come, Lord Jesus!

Having my family visit Brasov Calvary Chapel on Romanian Easter, May 5th, was a tremendous blessing! My mother shared her testimony of how God healed her physically and emotionally after a tragic slip that broke her leg. Then, she was joined by my 5 sisters (there are 8 sisters total) who sang in beautiful harmonies Biblical scriptures songs composed by my mother, Clareann. I hope it is a blessing for you! Sarah

SONGS FROM OUR CDS
We are very thankful for the laws enacted by President Trump (and his appointees) to restore justice, safety, morality, healthy food and common sense to our beloved Country. We were thrilled to hear Vice President Vance speak on behalf of the unborn at the ‘25 March for Life Rally. However, we grieve over the President’s support of evil agendas such as TikTok, Stargate’s AI, and the strange and immoral woman he appointed as “Senior Adviser to the White House Faith Office.” For this we fear for our beloved America regarding this "mixed cup" as they invite God's judgment in Revelation 18. And we pray these leaders will repent and obey all the Biblical commands of their professed Christian Leader, Jesus Christ, that they may prosper and continue in their wonderful quest for God’s Truth, Justice and the American Way!
