School Partners

JOIN US IN MAKING A DIFFERENCE

It only takes one volunteer, one student, one staff member, one connection, one opportunity to share the love of Jesus.

Why School Partners?

Our goal is to support the staff and students at our local partner schools by demonstrating the love of Jesus in practical ways. Whether you read to a class, provide academic support, encourage teachers through our hospitality events, or assemble learning materials from your home – every effort is appreciated. We are truly the church when we move beyond our own walls to love our community.

Some Ways We Serve

Guest Readers

Encourage a love for reading and build relationships with students by reading weekly to a class. Time commitment is approximately a half-hour per class. You could choose to read to one or more classes.

Academic Support

Volunteers will be assigned to individual children or small groups of students who need additional academic support. Expectation is to serve weekly in the same classroom in order to increase the likelihood of academic progress and personal connection.

Herrington Library

Serve alongside others who have a passion for reading and a love for children. Team members read stories, organize books, and assist with check-outs and returns. Time commitment is flexible but typically two days per month.

Hospitality

Many of our partner schools do not have parent groups that support and celebrate the staff. As a volunteer, you can make a difference by assisting with staff appreciation opportunities. When the teachers are uplifted, they are better able to give their time and energy to the students. The purpose of this team is to bring joy and encouragement to the staff.

Financial Peace University (FPU)

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.

Please email discipleship@kensingtonchurch.org with any questions.

Virtual Classes

Bible Basics

Whether you are brand new to the Bible or have been reading it for decades, Bible Basics is a course that will help you understand the overall flow of the Bible. Over the course of several weeks, learn how the Bible came from the original writers to the English versions we have today. We’ll look at the big-picture story of the Bible and how all the individual books add to the whole. We’ll even learn a little about the history of the Jewish nation. But most of all, we’ll grow in our awe of the amazing author of this amazing book!

Alpha

What is my purpose? What value does the Bible have in my life? How do I pray? How can I grow in confidence to share my faith? These are the big questions that are at the heart of what it means to have a relationship with God. Alpha is a space to explore life’s big questions, to say what you think and to hear other people’s points of view. Over ten-weeks you will explore and discover while listening to weekly topics, participating in table discussion, and developing community. Alpha courses meeting in-person gather around a meal.

You don’t have to come for the whole series—just check it out for the first session and see what you think. No pressure.
