KBC Values

Our mission is to know Christ and make Him known.

This two-fold emphasis on discipleship is clearly seen in the life and ministry of Jesus our Lord.

Jesus called twelve men to faith and He discipled them. He helped them to grow into committed and sacrificial followers who would later lay down their lives for the Gospel. Jesus also empowered them to disciple others to faith and proclaim the Good News with courageous words, backed up by loving actions and Christ-like character.

Our guiding values:

Value Focused on Christ
We look to Jesus as the example for all things we do and say and use scripture for teaching, correcting and training.
Participation
We all have our part to play in the Kingdom of God. We encourage each other to courageously use and develop their giftings and skills.
Value Real
We are authentic and demonstrate humility in sharing our lives, the joys and the sorrows as we journey through life together.
Value made in God's image
We welcome and care for friends and strangers alike as we believe everyone is made in the image of God.
Unity
We will be known for our love for one another and our grace consistently extended as we speak truth in love. We are a family of God's children living in a broken world.
Image
We seek to show and share God’s love to our neighbours and the community where He has placed us.
Value courage
We seek to follow the promptings of the Spirit and boldly follow where he leads.

Discipleship at KBC

We are on a journey delving into discipleship. We are talking about what does it mean to be a disciple? What does that look like? How can we disciple others?

In 2022 the church family determined being a disciple at KBC meant four things. We use these to inform our gatherings and personal growth:

Live

We study the Bible and listen to the Holy Spirit and act on it. We desire to be people like Jesus and not people of this world.
As seen in John 13:15; 1 Peter 2:21; Matthew 16:24-26; John 14:23-24; Philippians 4:9

Grow

We continue to get to know Jesus through our spiritual disciplines and conversations with other believers.
As seen in 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Matthew 11:28; Ephesians 4:14-16

Care

We extend Christ’s love through prayer, practical support and encouragement to fellow believers and the vulnerable around us.
As seen in Hebrews 10:19-25; Acts 2:42-47; 4:32-35; Ephesians 4:1-4; 1 Peter 1:22; John 14:15

Teach

We pass on our learning, developing believers into maturity and journeying with others to faith.
As seen in Matthew 28:18-20; 1 Corinthians 11:1; Titus 2:1-10; 2 Timothy 2:1-2; 1 Corinthians 11:1

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
Romans 10:9-10
