Feels Like Home : How Rediscovering the Church as Family Changes Everything (Paperback)
Key item features
"What a refreshing book! Imagine a church whose primary emphasis is to make people "feel at home." I wish every young pastor could read this book. Thanks, Lee, for a wonderful reminder of what the church is to be."
-Erwin W. Lutzer, Pastor Emeritus, The Moody Church, Chicago
Is your church acting like an organization or a home?
You love your church, but you wonder if it could be more. There’s a greeting team, but is there a true spirit of welcoming? There are committees, leaders, and programs, but is there a Spirit-led vision? There are small groups, but are people truly connected?
Pastor and award-winning author Lee Eclov was troubled by these questions. Then, he had a realization: he wasn’t called to lead an organization, but a family. His job was to be a "homemaker," not a CEO. This paradigm shift changed everything. In Feels Like Home, he shares what he’s learned from over 40 years of ministry about being the family of God and how to live into that beautiful reality.
This short volume is full of stories of small adjustments that make a huge difference in the effectiveness, warmth, and growth of a church community. Discover how the love of a family can transform your church.

About this item
Product details
The church is not a business, it is a family. A pastor’s job is to be a homemaker.
Feels Like Home is a call to pastors to return to the simplicity and profundity of the New Testament teachings about the church as a family—to focus more on creating a safe environment than a productive enterprise. Lee Eclov has been a pastor for over 40 years and spent many of those years thinking through and working out these principles. He’ll capture your heart with a new vision of church while teaching you:
- Why children should be seen and heard in the worship service
- How to create a culture where everyone is taken care of, even when its costly
- The importance of rest as well as service
- How to honor grandparents, embrace the unwanted, and create shared family values
God made us a family, it’s time to start living like we believe it.
