K1 Kids PRESENTS….
2024 Christmas Musical
Sergeant Joe Sabbath is charged with keeping the peace in the sleepy little town of Bethlehem, and he likes things QUIET! When word reaches him that a band of rowdy shepherds is inbound from the fields outside of town, boisterously celebrating with wild tales of angels and such, he is determined to get to the bottom of this case! Of course, what he discovers is no simple “disturbing the peace” beef. It seems he’s stumbled upon the caper that changed the world!
NO LIFETRACK IN DECEMBER
12:00P in ROOM 109 | Lunch and Childcare provided
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.
UPCOMING EVENTS
This year our global giving emphasis will be on supporting Nazarene Global Missions, which provides funds around the globe for missionaries and pastors (training, development, technology support, etc.), church plants, education and evangelism initiatives, compassionate ministries, and the use of the Jesus Film. Let’s make a global difference in expanding God’s kingdom by giving our support to this worthwhile cause this year. (Select "Missions" in drop down)
This holiday season, we are gathering gently used or new coats for Edison Primary School. Many kids at this school do not have warm coats and boots going into the Winter season -- we can change that! They are needing sizes e 6T-adult medium for coats, and shoe sizes ranging from kids 10.5-13 and youth 1Y-3Y. Our goal is 100 coats - we can do this!! Gently used or new items.
Donation bins are in the lobbies.

At K1, we are committed to sharing the good news of Jesus with a world who does yet know him. We believe that the most effective way to do that is through "relational evangelism" - building relationships with lost people in our lives by Beginning with Prayer (Praying for them), Listening (Really listening), Eating (Sharing meals with them), Serving (showing up in meaningful ways, without limits), and Sharing our Story (The ways that God has shown up in our lives).
As we live this out, we want to hear stories of how this B.L.E.S.S. way of living is happening in your life!
