Beliefs

We Believe there is only one God, who exists eternally as a Trinity of three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each member of the Trinity is fully God, yet each is personally distinct from the other.

We Believe the Bible (both Old and New Testaments) is the Word of God, written by men who were inspired by the Holy Spirit to write down exactly what God wanted to communicate to us.

We Believe Jesus Christ (second person of the Trinity) was crucified and died on the cross, was resurrected from the dead and ascended to heaven. Someday, he will return to Earth to conclude history and fulfill God’s plan.

We Believe the Holy Spirit (third person of the Trinity) comes to live within a person once they cross the line of faith. He gives us power to live as God wants us to live, and gives us spiritual gifts to serve the Church and change the world.

We Believe men and women were created by God to live in relationship with him. Yet, the first two humans, Adam and Eve, chose to rebel against God bringing sin into the world. Sin spread like a virus to all humans, separating us from God. We Believe men and women were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin (hell) or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation (heaven).

We Believe Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for our sins. It is only through faith in Jesus Christ – not by being a good person or doing good deeds – that a person can be restored to a right relationship with God.

Vision
To create a movement of students that reverses the decline of Christianity in the next generation.

Mission
To accomplish our vision by seeking those who think God is irrelevant and turning them into fully devoted followers of Christ.

How We Do It
We have a four-part strategy that helps us accomplish what we hope to do:

Events and Gatherings – hoping to attract those who think God is irrelevant into an experience with God that moves them

Spiritual Formation – teaching, training, and encouraging those who want to take the next step by helping them develop a relationship with God

Schools – finding ways to reach and serve students where they spend most of their time, instead of just waiting for them to come to us

Sunday Mornings – hoping to bring whole families into the Kensington community so they can learn and serve together during Kensington’s weekly gatherings
