Pouring Into Local Schools
Let’s care for the whole child! Even into adulthood we remember our favorite teacher, the lunchbox or TrapperKeeper we adored…and we remember the harder things about school – whether social or emotional or educational. Kensington is a pretty big church, but when we zoom out and look at the world, we’re small. But our God […]
Purpose From My Pain
I am the oldest of two daughters born to deaf parents in a small Wisconsin farm town. As soon as I could talk, I was serving as my parents’ interpreter through sign language – connecting them with the hearing world.

What if we had the opportunity to […]
