Youth

Giving Students What They Need For Life

We provide a safe, fun atmosphere where students (6th to 12th grade) can learn, meet people who will love them for who they are, and be challenged to become the people they were born to be. Relationships with the older generations are vitally important for students these days, so we connect them to caring adults who will teach them life lessons inspired by God’s truth. For more information, contact Deb Hill.

Life Group Leaders/Hosts

Where Friendships Are Important

KPC’s Life Groups are the small group ministry of KPC that serves to make the “big church smaller” by connecting members of the congregation to others in meaningful, life-giving relationships.

Altar Ministry

Pointing Others To God Through Prayer

Our altar ministers pray for those in need. Typically at the end of the worship gatherings (or whenever called upon by the pastor during the gathering), they make themselves available to those who are requesting prayer—pointing them to God and His sufficiency. If you’re interested in becoming an altar minister, contact Linda Harrison.

Media

Creative Ministries

Without our Media folks, Pastor Nate would be shouting (no sound) in the dark (no lights) at our worship gatherings. We’d be mumbling instead of singing (no words on the screen—and no lights to read by). We wouldn’t have EXPRESS (a weekly bulletin) or KPC CONNECT (monthly news). We wouldn’t have our website. We wouldn’t have our cool videos and slides and . . . well, you get it. And there are plenty of ways to get involved! Some examples are working with: video camera, photography, video-editing, SongShow (lyrics for worship), computer graphics, and art. For more info contact Valerie Fay.

Worship

Living A Life Of Praise

 

Worship isn’t just singing on Sundays. Worship is something we can do every moment of every day, during every event, with every word spoken, every work activity, every meal prepared, every homework assignment, and every song that is sung.

 

KPC’s Worship Ministries makes every effort to create opportunities for everyone in our church family to worship God with their whole lives. Some examples of ways to get involved with worship at KPC are: the worship band/team, orchestra, choir, Faithful Men (men's choral group), Hands of Praise (deaf choir), dance, and banners. For more info contact Gary Walter.
