This past Wednesday night, we had about 130 people in the building for the NextStep Classes, Starting Point and Alpha. What a wonderful night of application-focused discussion and fellowship in order to take the next step God is calling us to take. Oh, how encouraging it is for us as your pastors to see so many people desiring to grow in their understanding and application of Biblical Truth. It brings us much joy.
In recently reviewing the past 2 years of Alpha courses, I came across this stat. Over the past 2 years, we’ve had about 70 people go through the Alpha Course and a good number of these folks have experienced the transforming power of the Gospel. Our God is so kind to work in hearts and to use the Alpha Course and people at KingsWay as means! It is so fun to see God at work and to hear some of the questions people have. On Wednesday night, we had a lively group of people in Alpha that desire to explore the meaning of life and ask questions they have. From a federal agent to a single mom to married couples to a teen, the make-up of this course so far is diverse. If you are interested in coming or bringing a friend, feel free. Please let us know you are coming by calling the church office. We’d love to have you. Please pray for the leaders and guests in Alpha over the coming weeks that God would be active and that lives would be transformed for His glory.
The Starting Point Class was also a happenin’ place on Wednesday night as about 30 people gathered to hear Matthew give an overview of KingsWay’s core values and mission statement. In the upcoming weeks, different pastors will be teaching on community, fellowship, evangelism, and other key topics. What a privilege it is to serve these folks as they evaluate if God is calling them to join KingsWay as a member!
I’m looking forward to hearing testimonies from folks in all of the Next Step classes, as God is active in our midst. Please feel free to share with us what God is doing in your life either by commenting on this post or by sending us an email. Thank you for being a church that is eager to grow and learn. You are a joy to lead and pastor!
It’s not too late to take advantage of any of these classes, so please sign up on the above links or by calling the office.

I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the teaching we receive each week. I am looking forward to and praying in anticipation for what God will be doing this week at the Conference. Thanks for all you do, Gene, and all the Pastors and Staff!!
