OUR STORY

MORE
THAN 20 YEARS OF FOLLOWING JESUS TOGETHER.

Kindred is a non-denominational church planted more than 20 years ago by founding pastor Steve Thornton in partnership with Waypoint, a church-planting organization. Through every season, our calling has remained simple: keep Jesus at the center and become more like Him together.

 

We gather around Scripture, worship, prayer, communion, and life with one another. We make room for the life-changing work of the Holy Spirit, for honest questions, and for people at every stage of faith.

 

We’re not interested in building a crowd around a personality. We’re becoming a family shaped by Jesus—one where people are known, gifts are welcomed, and everyone has a place in the Kingdom.

THERE'S ROOM FOR YOUR STORY!

THE HEART OF KINDRED

A CHURCH FAMILY SHAPED BY JESUS.

01

JESUS AT THE CENTER

We submit our lives to Scripture, depend on the Holy Spirit, and make room to respond to what God is doing.

02

PEOPLE OVER POLISH

Church is a family, not a performance. We value honest relationships, prayer, shared meals, and showing up for one another.

03

EVERY GENERATION BELONGS

Children, teens, adults, and seniors worship, grow, and serve as one church family—not separate audiences.

04

PURPOSE BEYOND SUNDAY

We help people recognize what God has placed within them and live it out for the good of His Kingdom.

YOUR FIRST SUNDAY

YOU WON'T HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT ALONE.

01

Services begin at 10 AM and last about 90 minutes.

​

We worship through music and giving, hear a biblical message from Pastor Rod or another Kindred leader, pray together, and share communion. Open to all believers, communion is central to our gathering every week.

02

Children begin in worship with us.

​

A dedicated Kindred Kids seating section is available near the front. After communion, leaders guide children to classes with background-checked volunteers and bring them back near the close. Children are also welcome to remain with their family for the entire service.

03

Teens are part of the whole church.

​

They worship with adults and regularly serve—from slides and music to communion, coffee, and more.

Come as you are. Our greeters will help your family find the right entrance, get comfortable, and know what to expect.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

HISTORIC
FAITH.
LIVED
EVERY DAY.

These convictions shape how we worship, teach, care for one another, and live beyond Sunday.

01

SCRIPTURE

The Bible is the inspired Word of God—accurate, authoritative, and applicable to everyday life.

02

GOD

God is eternal and has revealed Himself as one God in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

03

JESUS & SALVATION

Sin separates us from God. Jesus—fully God and fully man—lived without sin, died in our place, rose again, and reconciles us to God. We receive salvation by grace through faith.

04

THE HOLY SPIRIT

The baptism and gifts of the Holy Spirit are available to believers, empowering us to grow, serve, and participate in God’s work.

05

THE CHURCH

Jesus established and is building His Church. Believers gather for worship, fellowship, service, communion, baptism, and instruction in God’s Word.

06

LIFE WITH GOD

God has purpose for every life. By His grace we grow in love and maturity, live in response to Jesus, and look forward to His return.
