OUR PASTOR
Pastor Dave joined Kfirst as Lead Pastor in April of 2009. Dave’s vision is to see Kfirst as a vibrant, life-giving community that makes it simple for people to find and follow Jesus. He loves teaching and preaching, and his passion for ministry is based on healthy relationships.
Pastor Dave and his wife, Anne, have been married for over 26 years and have three children: Camryn, Ethan, and Josh.
NEXT STEPS
We believe one of the best next steps in getting involved is joining one of our 3 T’s! Teams, Tables, and Trainings are an excellent way to find community, grow spiritually, and deepen your relationship with Jesus.
Let’s find the right fit for you!
-
We believe the best way to have meaningful relationships and deep connections is through teams. As you work towards a common goal with others, you will develop rich friendships that go beyond ministry.
There are many different teams you can join. Click HERE to check them out!
-
At the center of the Christian faith is a shared table. Communion is more than when we remember the body and blood of Jesus with the bread and wine. Communion extends beyond that and includes our communion with the body of Christ around the shared table of community.
Check out our TABLES! -
At Kfirst we believe that learning happens best in circles rather than rows. In a circle, every member has something to contribute and every member has something to learn. Each Training focuses on a specific topic and takes a deep dive into it.

New to Following Jesus?
Deciding to follow Jesus is a big step and one we believe is best celebrated in community. We would love to hear about your decision and celebrate with you by sending you a small gift!
CURRENT SERIES
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR
When Jesus was asked to sum up everything into one command, He said we are to love God with everything we have. And then He added that we are to love our neighbors as ourselves. Instead of turning this simple idea into a nice saying, what would happen if every follower of Jesus took the Great Commandment literally? Is it possible that the solution to our society’s biggest issues has been right under our noses for the past two thousand years?
In our series, “Love Your Neighbor” we not only explore how can we can put into practice one of the Great Commandments of loving our neighbors but we reestablish the culture of who Kfirst is and what we do.

Wednesday prayer
We are calling our church to an evening of prayer on the first Wednesday of every month. Join Pastor Dave in the worship center from seven to 8 o’clock each Wednesday as we call out to the Lord together in prayer over our city and our country.
Expressions of Worship Training
Join us every Tuesday night in February at 6:30 PM in the café for Expressions of Worship. In the first two weeks, we’ll explore God’s design for worship through Moses’ tabernacle in the Old Testament. Then, in weeks 3 and 4, our worship team will lead breakout sessions on different expressions of worship, where you’ll have the opportunity to learn and practice. These sessions will be kid-friendly, so children are welcome to join in!
We’ll conclude with a worship night on February 27th, bringing everything together in a time of worship and encounter. For the best experience, come each week—but if you can only make a few, you’re still welcome.
Come grow deeper in worship and discover new ways to connect with God!
NEXT
A new session of Next is happening February 23 at 9am. Next is an opportunity to learn more about Kfirst, how you can find your fit in the community, and take your next steps towards getting involved. Next is also one of our steps toward Partnership. If you are interested in learning more about Kfirst or how you can get involved, or you’re ready to pursue partnership and haven’t already attended Next, we would encourage you to sign up today!
Encounter Worship Night
Join us on Thursday, February 27th, at 7 PM in the Worship Center for a powerful night of worship! Throughout the evening, you’ll have the opportunity to move beyond just singing and experience worship in new ways through interactive stations designed to help you connect with God.
This will be a family-friendly event, with stations that include options for all ages and guidance on how to worship together as a family. Whether you come ready to dive in or just want to explore, this night is all about one thing—loving on God with our worship.
Come expecting, come hungry, and let’s worship Him together!
MY STORY
Stories are important for two reasons. First, they put into word what we’ve experienced to form gratitude in our hearts. They help us both appreciate and articulate the goodness of God. Second, the become the vehicle to reveal to others God’s faithfulness in the past. Stories remind us that God has been working in the past and He continues to work today.
KFIRST FOOD PANTRY
