Why House Church?

Biblical Foundation

From Acts 2:46 "They broke bread in their homes" to Romans 16:5 "the church in their house" - Scripture is full of believers gathering in homes. We're not doing something new; we're returning to something beautiful and ancient.

Authentic Community

No hiding behind masks or putting on church faces. House church is where real people face real life together, supporting each other through every season with genuine love and care.

Everyone Participates

Every voice matters, every gift is used, every person has value. Unlike traditional settings where you sit and listen, house church is interactive, personal, and Spirit-led.

Spirit-Led Flexibility

When the Holy Spirit moves, beautiful things happen. Sometimes we spend an hour praying for one person. Sometimes we celebrate together. Every gathering is unique because God leads.

Family Atmosphere

Church should feel like coming home to family. Around kitchen tables and in living rooms, we share meals, share life, and share faith in ways that transform hearts.

Multiplication Vision

We don't just grow - we multiply. Every house church can birth new house churches, spreading the gospel and building communities throughout our region and beyond.

Real Stories, Real People

"For the first time in years, I feel like I truly belong somewhere. House church isn't just where I go on Sundays - it's my family."

- Sarah M., Cincinnati

"I never thought I could lead anything, but Pastor Derick saw something in me. Now I'm pastoring my own house church and loving every minute."

- Mike T., Hamilton

"The kids love church now! It's not boring - they participate, they pray, they feel important. This is how church should be."

- Jennifer L., Fairfield

About Presence Driven

Our Story

Presence Driven began with a simple conviction: church should feel like family, not an audience. After decades in traditional ministry, Pastor Derick and Jill Thomas felt God calling them to return to the New Testament model of believers gathering in homes.

What started as one small house church in Hamilton, Ohio has grown into a movement of authentic faith communities across Greater Cincinnati, each one unique yet connected by the same heart for genuine relationships and Spirit-led ministry.

Our Mission

"To establish presence-driven communities where every believer discovers their calling, experiences authentic fellowship, and participates in the advancement of God's kingdom through house church multiplication."

What We Believe

  • Scripture: The Bible is God's inspired, authoritative Word
  • Trinity: One God in three persons - Father, Son, Holy Spirit
  • Salvation: By grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone
  • Spirit Gifts: All spiritual gifts are active today
  • Church: Every believer is called to participate, not just observe
  • Community: Authentic relationships are essential for spiritual growth
  • Mission: Every believer is called to make disciples

Our Values

  • Authenticity: Come as you are, grow as you go
  • Participation: Every voice matters, every gift counts
  • Multiplication: Healthy churches birth new churches
  • Spirit-Led: We follow God's leading, not rigid programs
