Servicemen's Home and OLR

The Servicemen's Home

Established several years ago, the Servicemen's Home began with a vision to be a place of faith and encouragement for servicemembers, and through the years it has touched and enriched many. A Servicemen's Home is a church and a home for military personnel where they are both welcomed and wanted at all hours of the day or night. It's a home of refuge; a real Christian "home-away-from-home", for soldiers to fellowship and never feel alone.

The Home in Kaneohe

What is the purpose of a Servicemen's home? Ultimately to get and be close to God, but also, and as one person put it, "fellowship, fellowship, fellowship!" That is the key and purpose of a servicemen's home and church.

To fellowship means to join together; we're not offering the fellowship of the world, but rather the fellowship of Christ. Everyone wishes to have friends, to be a part of something meaningful and have comradery with what they have joined. They search for a common denominator in their lives. Christ is this common denominator for a Christian servicemen's home and with him, there is true fellowship and engouragement.

Many who know Christ, who are working for the Lord in various calls of the ministry, trace their beginnings to a Servicemen's Home. We are thankful for all who have come before us, those who worked to make the Home a place of hope for the military and we desire to continue the mission.

As New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc. celebrated its fifty year anniversary in 2019, we give God all the glory for what he has done here in the Marine Corps Base Hawaii area and particulary in Kaneohe. Here in Kaneohe, we want to continue that mission; to reach out to our soldiers, and their families offering a real place of refuge, a Servicemen's home away from home.
