Church Family & Friends,
We are cooperating in the efforts to contain COVID-19 and we are also still committed to being a connected community of followers of Jesus. Our Sunday worship gathering is online via our Youtube channel and beginning May 24th, we are also meeting together again for worship on campus. Many of our groups and ministries are continuing to meet online and some small group activities are happening on site. Resources for our King’s Kids are available online through a private Facebook group. In addition, you can still contact the church office for assistance, counsel, or prayer. Follow us on Facebook and Youtube at “King’s Way Church – Alaska” and subscribe to our weekly e-newsletter for announcements and opportunities to connect. (Send your request to subscribe to kwmcoffice@mtaonline.net) We will get through this together by His grace! |
