Changes and Developments at KMB

As times changed, agencies and ministries evolved such that today we have a strong Christian Education department, Vacation Bible School, Care Groups, Youth Ministries, and other programs.

A major change in worship style also made its way to KMB in the formation of “Worship Teams” in place of a song leader and pianist, which started around 1988. It introduced a new style of contemporary praise songs. We currently have a blended mix of traditional and contemporary songs to accommodate all tastes.

Renovations continue on our building to meet the needs of a growing church membership and the expansion of ministries at KMB.
