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 and Heman 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 who dwell with us! Although our Church Family is counter to American culture, it has been a great blessing and joy to sing for the King. 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, (1915-2003) 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

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
