Kingdom Fellowship also carries on the tradition of addressing community needs. “The Black church has always seen itself as providing not just spiritual leadership, but holistic leadership,” Pastor Matthew Watley says.
We are called to cultivate human flourishing and societal transformation throughout the world as a testimony to the truth of the gospel.
We do not need to be contentious and argumentative. We can be kind and grace-filled even when we disagree with others and offer them a whole new worldview.

“Our focus is always on reaching the lost and those who are far from God. We just keep honoring God, trying to reach our community, being missional and attractional, and person by person, they keep coming through the doors.” - Pastor Brian McMillan
