Our Vision
Our vision at K1 is to help people:
Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose and Live it out.
Our vision comes out of the four promises that God gave to the Israelites when He freed them out of Egypt. We believe that these same four promises are available to us now through the grace of Jesus Christ.
Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose and Live it out.
Our vision comes out of the four promises that God gave to the Israelites when He freed them out of Egypt. We believe that these same four promises are available to us now through the grace of Jesus Christ.
6 “Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. 7 I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians."
Exodus 6:6-7, NIV
Lifetrack meets every Sunday at 12:00p in room 300. Lunch and Childcare provided.
Lifetrack is a four-step process that helps you discover your redemptive purpose and live the life God created for you. You will learn more about who we are as a church and who God has created you to be.
STEP ONE
In Step One, we will get to know you, help you get to know us, and most importantly, talk about how you can get to know God - for the first time or in a deeper way. We will also talk about how K1 wants to partner with God to help you find freedom through the transforming work of the Spirit. Step One happens the first Sunday of the month.
STEP TWO
In Step Two, we will help you discover your purpose. We will talk through some fun assessments and see how they reveal the unique way God created you to be a part of His purpose of bringing restoration into the world. Then we will help you begin to think about how you can Live Out your purpose here at K1 on our Dream Team and in everyday life. Step Two happens the second Sunday of the month.
STEP THREE
In Step Three, our goal is to help you take what you learned in Steps One and Two and get you connected with the right next step in your faith journey. Step Three happens the third Sunday of the month.
