House of DeBoer
“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” — Joshua 24:15

A calling to walk in peace

For Minister Cinnamon Leah DeBoer, the House began with a personal commitment: to follow the One True Creator, live in peace, and care for those she encounters along the way. Her declaration of peace expresses a refusal to take part in aggression and a willingness to offer comfort and life-sustaining aid to people in need, regardless of which side of a conflict they are on.

Her ministry gives that commitment a place to grow. Through teaching, fellowship, and acts of care, she seeks to help others live their faith freely and to make the House a spiritual sanctuary wherever its members gather. The House carries the faith of earlier generations while asking each generation to put it into practice in its own time.

The Church of Philadelphia

The House looks to the Church of Philadelphia in Revelation 3:7–12: a community called to remain faithful, to hold fast to what it has received, and to become a pillar in the temple of God. This passage grounds its commitment to steadfast faith, an open door to service, and care for the people entrusted to it.

Rooted in faith, connected to the Netherlands

Minister Cinnamon Leah DeBoer returned to the Netherlands, where her family roots run deep. The fields near Lisse and the North Sea at The Hague brought that connection into view: a personal return to her Dutch heritage, rooted in the faith that guides the House of DeBoer.

The House’s ecclesiastical documents were executed in The Hague on April 4, 2025, and bear an apostille issued by the District Court of Den Haag under number 25/4787. These documents form part of the House’s ecclesiastical record and its ministry’s connection to the Netherlands.
