Living The Jesus Way | Mar 3-24
Was the way Jesus acted upside-down and offensive to many? (Yes!) He chose people over religious practices and challenged the pride and expectations of those around Him. Going the way of Jesus would mean we orient ourselves by a very different compass – God’s ways are not the ways of man. Join us for this four-week series as we watch Jesus closely and commit to living the Jesus way!
Good Friday & Easter | Mar 29 – 31
Each spring, we gather together to remember the overwhelming act of love Jesus showed us by going to the Cross, and we celebrate the unparalleled hope that comes with His resurrection from the dead. You won’t want to miss these moving services – we believe God has something to share with you personally! Invite friends and family and join us;

Kensington’s Vision Night | April 17
Join us for this special Kensington church-wide Vision Night as our Sr. Pastor, Brian Mowrey, hosts this unique evening to honor the past, celebrate today, and share his dreams for the future of our church. Metro Detroit campuses are coming together for this event – including appetizers, desserts, and free childcare – at Troy campus on Wednesday, April 17. Everyone is encouraged to attend; please rsvp at kensingtonchurch.org/rsvp. Traverse City’s Vision Night is Wednesday, May 1; details forthcoming.
Above All: Reaching the [one]
In September, Brian Mowrey shared his vision – what is Above All – for us as a community this year. He described it as a year-long journey with three destinations: Knowing the One, Reaching the [one], and Becoming one. Visit kensingtonchurch.org/aboveall to learn more.
IgNight345 | Apr 20
Calling students everywhere in grades 3, 4, 5! Join us for our annual all-campus event at Troy campus on Saturday, April 20 from 12-2pm. We’ll have food, inflatables, and fun for everyone! Info and registration at kensingtonchurch.org/ignight345.
Women’s Retreat | May 17-19
Women, you are invited to a joy-filled weekend as we explore what it means to live like Jesus. Come experience encouraging speakers, powerful worship, practical workshops, and exciting activities – this is the place to grow your faith, laugh in community with other women, and refresh your soul!
This year, we’re focusing on the book of 1 John which is a “letter of Light and Love” to all of us, showing us how Jesus lived differently. He was Light in the darkness. He was Love in the midst of hatred and violence. Let’s live like Jesus!

Jump In Opportunities
Lent: -/+ | Feb 14-Mar 28
If you’re new to Lent, here is a simple way to participate in this season of preparation and reflection: minus something, add something! Take something out of your daily life (a fast), and add something meaningful in its place (a spiritual practice). Learn more about the history of Lent, and ways you can participate at kensingtonchurch.org/lent.
Baptisms | Apr 14
Baptism is something we get really excited about – it’s a step of faith and a profound moment of surrender to Jesus. If you feel the tug to be baptized as an outward sign of what God is doing inside your heart, sign up for our upcoming baptisms on Sunday, April 14 at kensingtonchurch.org/baptism.

Loving Our Neighbors
Move Out Network
At Kensington, we’re on a mission to move out beyond our four walls to bring the love of Jesus to those around us. That’s why we’ve created the Move Out Network – a place to connect you with opportunities and people who share the same passions. Join us by joining (or leading) a Move Out team – you can make an impact! More at kensingtonchurch.org/moveout
A Global Impact
At Kensington, we believe that to love God means we love others – even those halfway around the world in India, Kenya, or Palestine. We have developed ongoing partnerships with indigenous churches and organizations in nine different countries. We support our partners through relationships and resources as they meet the spiritual and physical needs in their own communities. Find out more at kensingtonchurch.org/global. Find out about our short-term trips to visit and support our partners at kensingtonchurch.org/trips.
