Welcome

At Kankakee First Church of the Nazarene we believe in creating a space where people can have authentic encounters with God, be empowered by the Holy Spirit, discover their gifts, and use them for God's glory. Join us for our Sunday services!

Our vision is to help people come to.........

KNOW
GOD

We want you to know the God who created you, loves you, and pursues you so that you can…

FIND
FREEDOM

Find freedom from the things that hold you back from being who God created you to be so that you can…

Discover
purpose

Discover your God-purpose. You have God-given gifts, experiences, and passions that God wants to reveal to you so that you can...

LIVE
IT OUT

Live it out to expand God's kingdom and bring healing and restoration to the people of this world.

current sermon series

It seems that many of us are living the busy, hurried life championed by our American culture.  As a result, we are experiencing a life of exhaustion, anxiety and brokenness spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, and relationally.   It is important for us to understand that God did not create busyness and hurry – the evil one did because the evil one wants to busy and hurry us to death.  Over the next three weeks, we will explore three antidotes to the busy, hurried life that will enable us to take a breath, slow down, enjoy God’s presence, and experience the power of less.  These three antidotes are the practices of silence/solitude, sabbath, and simplicity.  May we embrace these practices and allow God to free us from a busy, hurried life.  

What to expect

You belong

We’re all about making you feel at home — from the moment you pull into the parking lot. You’ll be greeted at the door, and, if you have questions, our greeters can assist you.

Come as you are

Don’t worry about dressing to impress. We’d rather you just come as you are- whether you’re in jeans, khakis, a jacket or flannel, you’ll fit right in.

The Service

Our worship services begin with contemporary Christian praise and worship songs and then our pastor delivers a practical message that explores God’s truth and how we can live out such truth in our daily lives.

Your Family

We believe kids + teens  are important to God and are some of the most vital members of any faith community. We are committed to helping you help them become life-long followers of God. We have services for ages 0-12 th grade.

PRAY FIRST

At K1 we are a Pray First church, which means we pray before we move forward.
We believe that God hears and answers prayer and changes us through prayer. We want to pray for you!
