Steve Thiel | Christ Proclamation Church - Church Planting | Spanish River Church: Gospel In Life I am grateful for the man that pour into my life on a monthly basis and the men that the Lord is raising up in this church plant.

Steve Thiel & his wife was ordained Pastors by Pastor Andre Riendeau of Wintonbury Baptist Church on Maple Avenue in Bloomfield, CT back in 2014. Pastor Thiel & his wife were in a building on Day Hill, RD in Windsor, CT and has bought Faith Community Church in Pigeon, RD in Windsor and now Faith Community Church is Christ Proclamation Church. I heard about this in the Hartford Courant. This is perhaps the first time that I have ever heard of a church building being bought by another church.

No begging, no long-winded testimonies, have only one offering & we put the offering in an offering box on the way out after church service is over, do not hold service all day, and most importantly does not try to show out to try and impress visitors when they come to visit.

Whether the pastor or pastors are preaching at a denominational church or a non denominational church he or she has to be humble, the members have to be humble, the attenders have to be humble, and the visitors have to be humble. Everyone have to be in harmony with one another. A church that stays teachable have a chance to grow in membership, those kind of churches can also grow spiritually & be effective humble servants in helping lead a hurting world to Jesus Christ.

I noticed that a lot of people are giving a lot more than when me & my mom fist visited the church.
