Food for LIFE
Every year we say that we are going to be more organised, we are going to start shopping earlier, book flights earlier, plan the holiday earlier and then suddenly it’s December and Christmas is just around the corner! Why is it that we end up tired, worn out and just hanging on for our holiday at one of the most awesome times of the year? Maybe we need to slow down and remember and reflect on what Christmas is really about. Continue reading Christmas Preaching Series

On Friday August 31st we are launching a new Youth Programme here at KBC. It is for Year 6-8 students and will run every second week during term time.
ACTIV8 (activate) is a place where young people can come and have fun in a safe environment and make positive life choices. It could be a night where we end up making banana splits but also try and fit one back into its skin!! Or it could be that we are racing up and down the auditorium trying to carry as many balloons as possible, or maybe even trying to shave one! ACTIV8 is a chance for young people to enjoy themselves and also start to grapple with the challenges of growing up as a young person today. We also look at topics as diverse as friendship, self-esteem and social justice. Continue reading New YOUTH Programme Launch

This week we will be beginning a six week series looking at Ephesians. We’re calling it a walk through, in essence we are just touching on some key points within the epistle.
Unlike many of Paul’s other Epistles, the letter to Ephesus is not written to confront a particular issue or heresy. It explains the nature and purpose of the church, the Body of Christ.
Come and join us over the next few weeks, as we take a walk through Ephesians.
