At KingdomLife, we offer a very unique concept of ministry. Ministry is usually defined in the traditional sense of the word as a "resource, small group, or outlet afforded to Christians to give them a sense of belonging or fulfillment in a local church." Generally speaking, the larger the congregation size or the more successful the church, the more ministry outlets that are available. For instance, in a congregation that is the size of 1,000 or more, you will normally find a rockin' kids ministry, a hip student ministry, and a flourishing singles and young adults ministry. You will also find various other ministries that are crafted to reach young married couples, parents, seniors, women's groups, men's groups, Bible study groups, home groups, prison ministry, evangelism groups, and the list goes on. We, at KingdomLife, however, do it differently.
At KingdomLife, our philosophy in ministry is just the opposite of that which traditional church offers. We believe that ministry is not designed primarily as a tool to keep the Saints happy, busy, and coming back for more; we believe that ministry is an individual expression of who you are in Christ and your passion to serve Him. It flows from your desire to influence and impact culture for the King of kings, and it is primarily about you doing your part to exalt Jesus as Lord over our culture. We believe that every Saint has been given a calling and a destiny, and it is up to you to discover what your kingdom assignment is. At KingdomLife, you will find that we do not design ministries around the needs, wants, and desires of the Saints. Instead, the Saints engage the King face to face and receive firsthand revelation of what their kingdom assignment is for the region outside the walls of the local assembly.
As the Saints discover their kingdom assignment, the Family then gathers around those Saints to help them understand how to operate and flow in that assignment. For instance, someone may feel called to the mountain of government. They may feel that God has given them a specific assignment to engage matters in the civil arena to bring about change for the glory of God. The KingdomLife family would then gather around that person, nurture the calling and the assignment upon their life, provide spiritual fathering and mothering, train and equip them, and then launch them into the arena which God has called them. We call this "doing" the work of the "apostolic" in the region, being a "wheel" within the "wheels," effecting change to the culture around us, and in effect releasing the kingdom of God and His glory into the earth. It is at the point where His glory gets released that true change comes to a region, blind eyes are opened, the Church gets reformed, and the nation is transformed. This is the kingdom in action. This is KingdomLife!
Some of the ministries that have been birthed out of KingdomLife: |

Frisco Reach Out
Frisco Reach Out was birthed in June of 2009 from a simple dinner table conversation between two Frisco families. The conversation went something like this, “You know, we’ve been in this town for almost 8 years, and we’ve yet to do anything major to express the kingdom of God. What could we do release God’s kingdom in our region?” From that simple conversation, we received the revelation that if we were going to do something to impact our region, it had to be outside the four walls of The Church. So we initiated a plan to reach the less fortunate of our city by providing free school supplies for kids going back to school, low cost vaccinations and medical care, as well as free toys, clothing, and food at Christmas time. Our first event was a complete success as indicated by the 253 kids who received free school supplies. Our second event at Christmastime was also a great blessing, and we were able to give away over 700 free Christmas toys, clothes, and food to over 100 families in need. We give God the glory for what He did at both events, and we are expecting Him to do much, much more as this ministry continues in the days and months ahead. To find out when the next Frisco Reach Out event is, please visit the events section of our website. |

Kingdom Life Training School
The KingdomLife training school is a ministry that has been ongoing since the birth of KingdomLife in 2001. When the Lord sent us to Frisco, Texas, He instructed us to build His kingdom so that He could build His Church. Part of building the kingdom is training others how to do so as well. So many in the Body of Christ today do not truly understand what the kingdom of God is, even though it has become a popular buzz word in the Christian community. If what you are doing for God has more to do with YOUR ministry, YOUR image, and YOUR success than it has to do with a pure love for Jesus and a passion for His name, then you are most likely building YOUR kingdom, not His. We understand this concept very well after spending years building other men’s ministries, only to see them fall because of a faulty foundation. If what you are building doesn’t position Jesus as the King who rules the kingdom, then what you are building is being secured by a faulty foundation. The KingdomLife Training School exists to help the Body of Christ learn how to build on a foundation that will usher in the glory of God, transform culture, and advance His kingdom in the earth. At our training school, the Holy Spirit will strip away the façade of religious works, powerless Christianity, and men’s ideas. In its place He will built a foundation of righteousness, holiness, and right alignment with the Father. You will become an agent of change in the earth!

Generational Ministry
At KingdomLife, we believe in ministering to all of the generations, not just the adults. We do it, however, in a unique way. The traditional model of generational ministry calls for the segregation of the generations by dividing people up by age groups. We, at KingdomLife, believe this is an ineffective model that promotes a dysfunctional system whereby adults “do their thing,” kids "do their thing,” and no one knows what the other person is doing. Studies have even shown that when teens graduate from high school at age 18, they also graduate from church, never to return. These same studies suggest that this phenomenon occurs because teens never truly connect with the senior pastor or the adult congregation. Therefore, when they sever the tie with their youth group, they sever the tie with the church. Is it any wonder that the rate of Christianity in America among the younger generation is only at 4%? Something has got to change, and it has to begin with the current church model. At KingdomLife, we are challenging the status quo and we are effectively changing the model. We are going back to a time when families when to church together “as a family” and everyone learned to worship God together. In our Sunday gatherings, we encourage children to sit with their parents during our times of fellowship and worship. We teach our children how to worship the Lord along with the adults. We even let our children participate in the worship time by allowing them to release prophetic words, dance before the Lord, and do anything that we would allow an adult to do. We also incorporate the family unit into everything we do outside of the Sunday gathering. All of our mission trips are family-friendly, and we encourage parents to take their children with them. All of our gatherings are family-oriented, and we encourage children and teens to play an active part. We have also encouraged the men in our body to take our adolescents and begin to mentor them into manhood. We have even created a special Rite of Passage weekend for our thirteen year olds reaching manhood. Trans-generational ministry is everywhere you look at KingdomLife, and we are proud of the paradigm that we are shifting in the Body of Christ. |

Home Fellowships
Home Fellowships are a way of facilitating the family dynamic of KingdomLife. In the kingdom center model, we realize that family has got to be at the very center of the model. By providing home fellowships, it allows our church family to spend time with one another, break bread together, and minister on a personal level. Our home fellowships are categorized by common interests and by ministry topic. Some of the current topics include “Growing Kids God’s Way,” and “Intercession for the 21st Century Church.” Home Fellowships always meet the last Sunday of the month. To find a location near you, please visit the events section of our website. |

Corporate Prayer
At KingdomLife, corporate prayer is foundational in everything we do. Prayer is a huge part of the kingdom center dynamic. Without it, we are simply a powerless organization that cannot effect cultural change. With it, we can change the world. Although everyone is a prayer warrior at KingdomLife, we do have a group of intercessors who meet weekly to pray over the city, the region, the state, and the nation. Prayer topics vary greatly, and can cover such areas as local and civil government, state and national government, elections, civil leadership, religious leaders, Israel, America, The Church, and many, many other topics. Anyone can be involved with the prayer ministry of KingdomLife so long as they are teachable and pliable. To see when the next prayer meeting is scheduled, please visit the events section of our website. |

Worship
In addition to corporate prayer, worship is the essence of what we do at KingdomLife. We can’t even breathe without worship. From the Sunday morning gathering to Wednesday night training to Home Fellowship groups, worship is central to who we are. Our worship style is very different at KingdomLife. We allow Jesus to be the central focal point of our worship. We remove man from the equation and we just let God “be.” He can be whatever He wants to be in our midst. We reverence the Holy Spirit. We put God at the forefront, and man at the rear. We remove performance, a worship “rock show,” and all the bells and whistles of a traditional worship set, and we just “are.” We are one with the Father, we are in tune with the Holy Spirit, we drink of His presence, and we allow Him to be God. It is the most incredible model for worship we’ve ever seen, and we are evolving in this model constantly. To become a part of our worship dynamic, come and experience KingdomLife! |

KingdomLife Missions
At KingdomLife, we believe in missions. Global missions are a vital part of the apostolic mandate upon our ministry, and a key component to our kingdom center model. KingdomLife facilitates missions by reaching out to the local mission field in our community, sending missionaries to different parts of the world, and by facilitating short term mission trips for the church family to engage in. KingdomLife currently supports missionaries in the countries of Mongolia, Burma, Thailand, Africa, and Israel, and has also taken the church family on short term missions trips to Asia, Central and South America, and Mexico, as well as local mission trips in our state. To get involved with our missions ministry, or to see when the next short term missions trip is coming up, please visit the events section of our website. |

Ministry Network
KingdomLife supports other ministries and churches that embrace and promote the kingdom message. We are a relational network of fivefold and marketplace ministers who want to see the kingdom of God established in every aspect of culture. The kingdom message is not about one person or one concept; it is a culmination of many people and many ideas working together as one to release the heart of God in every aspect of society. Whether you are a doctor, lawyer, firefighter, police officer, scientist, business man, homemaker, father, mother, foster parent, apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher, or evangelist, there is a place in our network for you! |
