We Are A Family On Mission Together
WRITTEN BY zach Allison
One of our values as a church is that we are a family—and specifically, a family on mission together. One of the ways we live this out, as we explored in our recent All In preaching series, is through serving.
So why do we serve?
We serve because it was Jesus' example to us.
Throughout the Gospels, Jesus consistently sought opportunities to serve the people around Him. Whether through healing the sick, casting out demons, washing His disciples' feet, or spending time with those on the margins of society, Jesus modelled what it means to put others first. As followers of Jesus, we want to reflect that same heart.
As it says in Philippians 2, Jesus "gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave." His example challenges us to take our focus off ourselves and look for opportunities to serve and support the people around us.
This servant-hearted example of Jesus is central to our heart for serving at KCC. Every act of service, whether seen or unseen, helps us live out our mission of seeing the Solent transformed by the Gospel.
We want to take a moment to thank each and every person who gives their time, energy, skills, and gifts to serve across the life of our church. We are incredibly grateful for all 416 volunteers who faithfully serve in so many different ways. Whether you're investing in the next generation, helping facilitate our Sunday meetings behind the scenes, welcoming people through our doors, discipling others in their faith, or serving in countless other ways, thank you. Your faithfulness helps create opportunities for people across the Solent to encounter God and equips them to live wholeheartedly for Him.
Each year, we hold our Servers' Thank You Party—a special evening where we gather together to celebrate you. We do this because we value you and want to celebrate what it means to be a family on mission together. While our expressions of serving may look different, we are united by a shared mission: helping people come to know Jesus.
This year's theme for our Servers' Thank You Party is A Night at the Oscars, bringing a touch of Hollywood glitz and glamour to Hedge End. But while the theme may be inspired by the stars of the silver screen, the real stars are the people who faithfully serve week in and week out, often without recognition, helping to make church life happen.
Whether you've been serving for years or have only recently joined a team, we'd love to celebrate you. If you haven't already signed up for the Servers' Thank You Party, please follow the link below—we'd love to see you there: https://kccsouthampton.churchsuite.com/events/o22nezpz
If you're not currently serving, can I encourage you to consider where God might be calling you to get involved? We are seeing God do incredible things across KCC, and every person has a part to play. There are opportunities for people with all kinds of gifts, skills, and experience, and we'd love to help you find a place where you can thrive while making a difference in the lives of others.

Together, as we serve, we reflect the heart of Jesus and play our part in the mission God has given us.
