All of our ministries at KC are designed with the purpose of fulfilling Jesus’ great commission:

“Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am

with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20

Please join us as we seek to worship God seven days a week.
