About us
Simple Faith. Real Life.
We are a church that tries to do a few things well: love God, love people, and say yes to what is next.
Kestrel Road began as a handful of neighbors meeting in a living room. Today we still meet like family, only with more chairs.
What We Believe
God Is Good
He made us, he loves us, and he has not given up on this world.
Jesus Is the Center
His life, death and resurrection are the good news. Everything else follows from him.
The Bible Is True
We read it, teach it plainly, and try to live what it says.
Everyone Is Welcome
You do not have to have it figured out. Come with your questions.
Faith Is for the Week
Sunday matters, and so do Monday through Saturday, at work, at home and in our neighborhood.
We Are Better Together
Following Jesus is not a solo project. We grow in community.
