H2O Student Ministries

| www.h2oyouth.org |

• Middle School Service [ 6:30p - 7:45p ]
• High School Service [ 7p - 8:30p ]

H2O Wednesday - doors open at 6:00p • The Game room is open until 9:00pm.

H2O is about meeting the spiritual needs of high schoolers. It is about experiencing a real God. It's about hanging out and meeting new friends. It's about reaching your friends in a real and relevant way. And it's about "rolling on the floor laughing until your gut hurts" fun.

The H2O experience is every Wednesday night from 6p - 9p. We also have everything from dodge ball and football tournaments to Six Flags and water park trips to game nights; we like to have fun!

Small Groups are where you get to experience God and life with other people. Cell groups are fun, intense, meaningful, interesting, satisfying, and just a great place to eat chips and hang out with other people. They meet in homes all around the Kenosha area.

H2O student ministries is also a volunteer-based ministry. So whatever your schedule allows, we have a place for you to serve.

A trained, mature Christian that will shepherd you as your Small Group cares for you in all areas of your life and leads each group.

Classes and Seminars provide a learning environment for gifted teachers to instruct you in your understanding of the Word of God as you press toward spiritual maturity. Most classes have an 8-12 week duration while seminars are typically one day events.

Join FUSION as we gather for coffee and conversation, game nights, and community events. Plan on being a part of weekend retreats or attend numerous conferences in the area with the young adult in mind. Fusion is looking for leaders and volunteers committed to reaching young adults and being a light to the communities we live in.

Hebraic Roots

Hebraic Roots Ministries is about Jews and Gentiles worshipping Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) in the Biblical Jewish tradition. We teach from the weekly designated Torah portion readings including any relevant Old Testament and New Testament scriptural relationship. The study of the Feasts of the Lord equips us to better understand God's Word and be able to discern the prophetic times and seasons.

We provide opportunities for Jews and Gentiles to worship, fellowship, and learn about Biblical truth, Feasts of the Lord in prophecy, cultural traditions, and presenting Yeshua / Jesus as the Messiah. We teach and celebrate the Feasts of the Lord, hold seminars regarding Israel events at home and abroad, teach classes in basic Biblical Hebrew, and discuss Israel's destiny in Bible prophesy resulting in the redemption of the nations and restoring the Garden of Eden here on earth for a thousand years.

Missions

KFA is committed to spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ in our neighborhoods, cities, nation, and around the world. Believing that God wants all His children to know about Jesus, we give our church family the tools needed to tell those in their circle of influence about Jesus, as well as financially and prayerfully supporting and sending missionaries to spread the Good News beyond our immediate boundaries.

We gather people of prayer and a heart for the world to help missionary causes for the sake of the Gospel, we grow in our faith as we take on the task of prayerfully allocating God's resources where the Holy Spirit directs us to place them, and we go on short-term missionary journeys to answer God's call to the world and make provision for our full-time missionaries as they go and bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to a dark and dying world.
