Become a volunteer and join us in connecting lives with Heaven’s Love.
YOU are critical to our ministry’s success.
A personal invitation from Michael Grogan:
Please review the current volunteer opportunities, then complete the form below to share your interests with us.
We aim to bring the Kingdom of God down into the streets of Kensington, by reminding people of their profound identity as children of God the Father, and making them disciples of Jesus Christ.
Our mission is to plant the seeds of truth in the hearts of young people and families that are overwhelmed by a culture of death, drugs, and abandonment. We believe through prayer and the power of the Holy Spirit, great transformation is possible to make Kensington become like “sweet smelling incense before the Lord.”
