Our story

 

Kainos began over a decade ago as a home group meeting at our house with the purpose of seeking what wasn't being pursued in our church: studying and experiencing the works of the Holy Spirit. It led to all of us coming into contact with the power of the gospel in new ways. Over time we studied the Scriptures regarding healing and spiritual gifts, had meetings to wait on the Lord, and went on field trips to figure out what we were comfortable and uncomfortable with about the "charismatic" side of Christianity. This pursuit of a vital relationship with the Holy Spirit's presence and power while maintaining a biblical foundation led us to pursue many different teachings, training and schools, and draw from what they had to offer while trimming off what we saw as excess.

 

Along the way we met others with the same need, and we started an open group to listen to teachings and practice the ministry gifts in a safe setting. People were healed, prophetic encouragement went forth, and lives were changed by God's presence. We also launched a monthly worship night where we press in to God's presence, and a women's equipping time. All of these events are still an important part of what we do today.

 

In 2009 we created a name for the ministry, and launched the first Fearless Bride as a women's retreat. In 2010 we joined the Apostolic Network of Global Awakening to be connected with resources and leadership that shared our vision. In 2012, Kevin and Natalie were licensed through Global Awakening. Around that time God gave us the vision to encourage, equip, and expand the influence of the saints on a larger scale, noting the need in our region to complement what the churches in our area still do not offer. The ministry was then formalized as we formed an LLC for the purpose of financial and legal accountability and to acquire an office to counsel and train others. In 2012 we moved into our first building, and six months later moved into our current location. In 2013 we launched our first Global School of Supernatural Ministry Satellite school.  In 2015, Kevin and Natalie were ordained as pastors through Global Awakening.

 

As a ministry, we place a high priority on relationship. The heartbeat of Kainos is to network the resources of the body of Christ to equip people into the fullness of their calling in Christ. The backbone of Kainos is a team of people who know their giftings, and run the affairs of the ministry. 

 

Kainos is the Greek word for "new". It is used of the new creation (2 Cor 5:17), new covenant (Lk 22:20), fresh wineskins (Matt 9:17) and is at the root of "renewal" (Ro 12:2, Tit 3:5), which is at the root of our philosophy. In the Kingdom of God, all things are made new!
