Move Out

Loving Our Neighbors. Making a Difference. Reaching the [one].

Beyond Our Four Walls

Let’s be the Church not just on Sundays, but in everyday life—moving beyond our walls and into our communities.
 
Let’s see outreach as relationships rather than events, as people rather than projects, as simply loving our neighbors as Jesus does.
 
It’s incredible but true – loving the [one] has the power to transform lives and neighborhoods alike.

frequently asked questions

What are Move Out Teams?

Move Out teams are teams committed to loving God and loving others well out in the community. They prioritize people over projects, relationships over results, community over accomplishments. They serve with dignity, helping others know their value, gifts and abilities. And they embody Kensington’s mission of seeing every[one] transformed and mobilized by Jesus.

Move Out leaders have the desire to lead a team of people with like-minded passions. They have a heart for investing in and discipling others including team members and those they serve in the community. They demonstrate godly character and spiritual leadership, and also embody Kensington’s mission and values. In addition, Move Out leaders engage in leadership development opportunities offered including coaching, conferences and workshops.

The heart of Move Out is to inspire and empower people to use what’s in their hands to “be the church” beyond the four walls of Kensington. Think workplace, neighborhood, community, city and beyond! Begin by asking God who around you can use some encouragement, prayer and help, and what steps should you take. Consider what skills, gifts or services you can offer. Moving Out can be as simple yet powerful as making a phone call, sending a note, tutoring a child, blessing someone with gas or groceries, volunteering at a local non-profit, or helping someone around the house or yard. In doing so you will be sharing the love and hope of Christ!
