A Great Church Near You!
Welcome!
Kirk of the Way is a small mission church with an ordained pastor. Together, we are seeking God and endeavoring to lead God's people to know and love the One, True God with our whole hearts and our neighbors as ourselves. Kirk of the Way is a place of deep and sound doctrine that inspires the mind and captures the imagination with what God is preparing for all who believe in Him. If you have been walking with the Lord all your life or if you have just found Him or if you still have deep, probing, unanswered questions; Kirk of the Way is a place where people can meet to worship Jesus, to know Him, to be united with Him in perfect, covenantal relationship, knowing that our sins are completely and once-and-for-all forgiven and that His righteousness wondrously covers all who rely upon Him alone for their righteousness.
We are seeking those who do not believe, but if you already believe and want to join in the adventure of starting something new that embraces the eternal and unchanging, then come and see what God can do in you and through you, and all to the praise of His glorious justice and grace!
God is calling His people to worship Himself alone, so if your heart says, "Yes!" to what you see and read here, don't hesitate to come and see Jesus! As you worship Him, God transforms you into His image and holiness, and your mind is renewed by God through His Word all while you are resting in Christ's perfect righteousness.
The church does not grow if the people in the church do not grow. The need is great, and the workers are few. Come and find a place where you can contribute to a group of people who hold to the truths of Scripture, knowing full well that every stroke of the pen reveals how much we need God and how great and how awesome He is.
Join us for our Sunday service, our Bible study groups, our outreach and evangelism opportunities, or come and work with us in what you are already doing!
Equipping the Saints

We discuss the Word and pray with one another.
Our current study focuses on 1 & 2 Peter.
All worship, training, and outreach opportunities begin at our home:
