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:
CHAPTER 2Do you remember when you first started reading “chapter books”? It was that transition in growth when you moved from picture books to a simple story line to a narrative that was a bit more complex that it needed chapters to separate the tale into incremental bits so that the reader can take in all that the story provided. Chapters helped us the reader step into the journey the author intended to lead us into.
This is how we view the life that Christ has called us into. So if salvation is “chapter 1” of our new journey in Christ, then “chapter 2” is our next step in spiritual formation. In our next series, we are wanting to help encourage Kfirst to look to step forward into a new chapter of their own growth (discipleship) in Jesus. If we want to be a people to want to “be with Jesus so that we can become like Jesus,” then we need to look for a next step (or chapter) to begin. Join us as we discover what your “chapter 2” needs to be in your spiritual walk.
How to Read the Bible Training
Do you love reading Scripture but find it confusing at times? Or ever read a passage of Scripture and think, “What was that about?” Or maybe you simply want to grow in reading Scripture. Then this Training is for you!
Join us every Wednesday night at 6:30pm from September 8th through October 13th to learn helpful insights into how to read the Bible. Come meet new people and discover how learning to read Scripture helps us be with Jesus so that we can become like Jesus.
NEXT
Next is an opportunity for the leadership at Kfirst to hear your story and for you to hear ours. You will explore your personality, discover how you belong and where to take your next step at Kfirst.

On Thursday night May 23 from 6:30 – 8:30pm we will be having a night of prayer + worship we call an “Encounter Night.” This night will be open to the community so invite your family and friends as we seek God’s presence together through worship. Come with an expectancy for God to move and hearts to be changed!

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.
