BE Grateful

DAVE ANDERSON, Lead Pastor

You are worthy of God’s generous grace because God says you are worthy of God’s generous grace.  God’s kingdom is open to all who will respond to God’s invitation to come into it; the only requirement is that we give our undivided allegiance to God; and everyone who chooses to do so will receive the same reward – eternal life.

STEP 3 - DISCOVER PURPOSE

MARCH 19th . 12:00p . room 109

No matter where you are at on your journey, Lifetrack is the FIRST step that we encourage you to participate in here at Kankakee First Church. This is where you will learn about WHO we are as a church, WHAT we believe, and HOW we are structured to help you along your spiritual journey.  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.

Lunch and activites for kids provided.

Our next baptism service will be Sunday April 16th! If you would like to take this Next Step in your spiritual journey, let us know!

GET IN A GROUP!

At K1, we believe in the importance of being in a small group. Small groups are were we can grow spiritual, where we are seen and known, where we experience fellowship and laughter, and where we are wrapped in prayer and support as we walk through life. All of these things lead us to being able to FIND FREEDOM!
If you don't see a group that works for you, email Pastor Jenna and she will help you find one that does! jenna@k1naz.org
