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
MOMENTS WITH JESUS
Throughout the Gospels, ordinary people had extraordinary encounters with Jesus—and nothing was ever the same afterward. In this sermon series, Moments with Jesus, we will walk through powerful moments where individuals encountered Christ and experienced miracles that changed their lives forever.
These were not random displays of power; they were deeply personal encounters. Blind eyes were opened, broken bodies were healed, storms were calmed, sins were forgiven, and hope was restored—not because people had everything figured out, but because they came face-to-face with Jesus. Each miracle reveals not only what Jesus can do, but who He is: compassionate Savior, powerful Lord, and present Redeemer.
As we explore these moments, we’ll discover that the same Jesus who worked then is still at work today. This series invites us to see ourselves in these stories—to bring our need, our faith, our questions, and our pain to Jesus, believing that one moment in His presence can still change everything.
Come expecting. Come believing. Your moment with Jesus may be closer than you think.

Month of Prayer
“Starting January 4, we’re inviting our whole church into a Month of Prayer. Each day, we’ll share a simple prayer focus online to help us grow in unity, faith, and love for our community.
We’ll also gather midweek with a Facebook Live prayer every Wednesday at noon, and we’ll kick things off with First Wednesday Prayer on January 7 at Kfirst.
Whether you’re praying along at home, at work, or with us in person, we hope you’ll join us as we seek God together this January.”

Want to learn more about Kfirst? Next is a one-week experience designed to introduce you to who we are, our story, and how you can be part of what God is doing here. Whether you're new or just looking to get more connected, this is your next step. Join us February 22 at 9am.
holy spirit training
Following Jesus means learning to walk with the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives. Holy Spirit Training is a dedicated evening where we’ll gather to grow in our understanding of the Holy Spirit and create space to respond to what God is doing in us.
We’re honored to welcome Dr. Brian Lidbeck—author, professor, and Academic Dean at Northpoint College—who will be with us teaching and leading throughout the night.
This gathering is encouraged for everyone and designed with families in mind. While adults participate in the main session, children in Kindergarten through 6th grade may register for an Elementary Track with Pastor Carissa and her team, where kids will learn about the Holy Spirit in an age-appropriate and engaging environment.
RSVP today and join us Tuesday, March 18, from 6:00–8:00 PM.
We’d love for your whole family to be there.
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
