Changes and Developments at KMB
As times changed, agencies and ministries evolved where today we have a strong Christian Education department, Vacation Bible School, Care Groups, Youth Ministries, Woman's Christian Fellowship, 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.
KMB recently purchased the
fire hall next door. The building is currently being used by Youth for Christ as an outreach
to the youth in the community.
Renovations continue on
our building to meet the needs of a growing church membership and the
expanding of ministries at KMB.
