Welcome to Kensington Brazilian campus. Our dream is that this community would be a safe port for the Brazilians in Michigan. This is a place for you to develop a relationship with Jesus, experience Family in USA, and connect into our Brazilian Community. We believe that we should never forget where we are from, and we where we are. We believe strongly that each person is precious to God and that He has a desire for everyone to know who they are, whose they are and the purpose of their life. We look forward to meeting you and partnering with you on this spiritual journey. If you have any questions at all please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Time: 7:00 – 9:00 PM
Kensington Troy 2nd floor
Friday night is the family night. Everyone who attends our meetings have the chance to go deep in the word through our Bible studies; also, we strengthen the relationship between our people. Before and after the meetings, we have a get-together, bringing a little of Brazil in our food and the warm environment, which is the main characteristic of our culture. We have classes from nursery to High school. It is a meeting for the entire family. We hope to see you there.
Division of the groups
Breakway: 11- 14 years old ( middle school)
Edge: 14-17 years old ( High School)
It’s a different sort of fall, but we’re committed to your kids and providing a weekly place to connect. A one-time registration is necessary to join us – sign up now at kensingtonchurch.org/fallregistration.
We started meeting in 2001 with the goal of not only spending time together this week, but also studying the bible and praying for each other, for our families and friends. We do not talk about religion, nor do we discuss issues that are controversial and may bring about nuisance or unnecessary religious discussions. Therefore, we chose the study of the bible.
Since then, each week we have felt closer to each other, and with that, we have overcome loneliness, discouragement and better bear the longing for our “beloved homeland Brazil”. We have increasingly known the unconditional love of God the Father, feeling the peace of Jesus the Son. We have grown together in the knowledge of human relationship and the Word. And we give all honor, all glory to God and His Spirit, who has taught us, with patience and affection.
And of course, like every Brazilian, we love to have our morning coffee (Brazilian) together and in the end we snack our food and Brazilian delicacies, we always chat until we get tired!
We have also helped the Nehemiah Project – which supports the Refuge Orphanage in Sorocaba, São Paulo – by selling invitations, cooking and decorating the project’s fund raisers.
We also have many plans, such as: helping social work in the region, conducting tours, excursions and retreats for women.
If you are a Brazilian woman, you are interested in learning more about the bible, having friends who pray for and with you, and also meeting Brazilian girls to form new friendships: Come join our meetings and follow our facebook page.
If you have any questions, need emotional, spiritual support, or whatever, contact me, or small group leaders.
God bless you and all your family!

If you are Brazilian, live in the Detroit area and are looking for a place to contact other Brazilians, you are our guest for our monthly meetings!
Living in a foreign nation with different language, different culture and away from friends and family is not easy. God has a perfect plan in everything He does, but these plans are not always clear to us. Because we are far from relatives and friends we are subject to insecurities, uncertainties and moments of sadness.
BCC Men exists so that Brazilians in the Detroit area have the opportunity to exchange experiences, learn from each other, and together understand God’s will for our lives.
In our monthly meetings we have the opportunity to study the Bible, pray for each other, receive support from friends and brothers in Christ.
You are our guest!

BCC is dedicated to serving your family! We believe that children are the joy of the whole community, which is why BCC Kids exists.
During BCC’s weekly Friday Meetings in Troy, you can count on us. Your 0-10 sons and daughters can play fun games, listen to Bible stories, and sing songs. All in Portuguese, and all with great joy!
It’s easy to find us. The rooms where we meet with the children are adjacent to the main Friday Meetings room (301) On the third floor of Kensington Troy.
Class targeted at children from 4 to 6 years. Our goal is to provide a moment of fun and Bible learning in a healthy environment. Classes are taught in Portuguese.
In the years of new discovery, our group offers curious children ages 6 to 10, moments of real discovery that the Bible can offer. Children are exposed to Bible stories as well as games based on the stories studied. It would be a pleasure to meet your family!
Dear Kensington,
Yesterday was the Special Meeting vote to affirm our Senior Pastor candidate, which took place at all campuses during all services. If you were there or joined us online, thank you for taking part to vote on our candidate, Brian Mowrey, as our new Senior Pastor. Because of such a strong, positive turnout, members and the congregation have confirmed Brian as our new Senior Pastor with nearly 99% voting yes. Brian has said yes, and the Mowreys are coming to be part of the Kensington family!
We all know this has been a long journey, requiring much patience and trust. Your continued commitment to Kensington and your willingness to lean into this process with us is what helped get us here today. With such a strong positive vote for Brian’s leadership, there is no doubt that we are ready to be led into what God has for us in the years ahead.
The next few months will be a time of transition and we ask that you continue to pray for Brian, Becca and the girls as their adventure is just beginning with us; also pray as they are concluding a chapter of their life with Walnut Hill. While this transition over the next few months will mean that Brian is back and forth between Kensington and Connecticut, Brian will be actively engaged with all that is happening at Kensington and will be relocated and in place with us by the end of summer.
Brian wanted to share with all of you a quick word of thanks for your trust in his leadership of Kensington. Watch here.
Thank you, God, for your provision. It’s just beginning. Immeasurably More!!
Grace and Peace,
Craig A. Mayes
Lead Pastor & Elder

We are offering a time for our congregation to gather after the 10am service for prayer in the Groves Auditorium, 20500 W 13 Mile Rd, Beverly Hills, MI 48025.
On Sunday evening, Dec 5, parents of high school and middle school students are invited to the second half of our Edge gathering at Genesis Church, 309 N Main St, Royal Oak, MI 48067, at 6:15pm. We will have a breakout to equip parents in caring for themselves and processing pain with their children in times of tragedy.
Parents – self care is critical. It’s important to do your own processing with another adult so that you can be more present as your child processes. Here are tools that you can use to get you started.
“The aftermath of the Oxford shooting tragedy will undoubtedly result in traumatic symptoms and experiences across our communities for quite some time. Healing the brain through evidence-based therapies is absolutely possible with clinical guidance. There is a valuable village of Trauma Therapists with collective resources standing by for Oxford, for both direct and secondary survivors to engage in therapy. Until then, we honorably hold a sacred space, as students, families, staff and school partners continue to mourn.” -Laura Azoni, LMSW, Founder of Sanctuary Services
We believe that unity at this time is more important than ever. Several churches in the area are partnering together to offer space for students to begin the process of healing.
We will have several grief and trauma specialists on site this Sunday evening at our Orion Campus (4640 S Lapeer Rd Lake Orion, MI 48359) from 5-6:30pm and will have a night of prayer, worship and an opportunity for students to process with each other.

Financial Peace University (FPU) is a catalyst to help people live in financial freedom and enable them to have a posture of openhandedness. We have witnessed numerous Kensington families experience life change as a result of applying Biblical truths to their personal finances. The real blessing is seeing people create lives of margin that allow them to hear and respond to the Lord’s calling on their lives.
