Our Ministries

We desire to CONNECT in many ways.

Our number one desire in life is to be connected to the blood of Christ (John 14:6). This is not our only aim; we also seek to connect others to His word. We aspire to connect with others through faith, friendship, and fellowship in order to connect others to the Truth of the gospel from God’s Word (John 8:32). We want to give you a taste of how you can become connected to the body of Christ at Kensington Woods.

A Stronger Faith

Just like the New Testament church, we at KW have a fervent desire to GROW in many ways. Growing in God’s Word and growing closer to Christ are our focused aspirations. We want to connect to God’s Word properly to grow our spiritual relationship with Christ. We also wish to grow closer to our brothers and sisters in Christ, and ultimately grow Christ’s church together.

Unscripted Podcast with Chris and Bob

Jesus was the king of conversations. From the woman at the well, to the multitudes by the sea, private conversations with His disciples, the religious elite, kings, governors, widows, the rich, poor, sick, broken, and His own mother, Jesus taught us how to communicate.   His life was written down but was unscripted. Today we have the recipe to salvation, the road map to heaven, and while Jesus is the only one to follow and pursue, our lives are full of…
