About KHC

Koerner Heights Church gathered for the first time in 1958 with a commitment to reach people in the Newton area with the good news about Jesus. We are still committed to this mission by the power of the Holy Spirit for God’s glory. Everyone is welcome at Koerner Heights, regardless of background.

We are part of the Mennonite Brethren Churches around the world who are committed to following Jesus from where we are to where He is, and to follow Him together.

Our Purpose
The purpose of this church, through the power of the Holy Spirit, is to advance the
Kingdom of Jesus Christ to the glory of God the Father.

We believe
in God as eternal Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God created and sustains the universe. The eternal purpose of God the Father is to create a people who will bring glory to God forever. God alone is worthy of worship.

We believe
that God became human in Jesus Christ. Jesus came to restore the world because humans have rejected God in disobedience. Jesus taught and modeled the way of God’s kingdom. He died on the cross, making it possible for us to accept a renewed relationship with God. He rose from the dead, broke the power of sin and death, and frees us to live in obedience to God’s will.

We believe
that God the Holy Spirit invites all people to be reconciled with God and to join the global family of faith. Believers confess their faith, are baptized, and join in the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. Through the power of the Holy Spirit and guided by the Bible, members of the church seek to live as followers of Christ and invite others to experience this new life.
