Bishop George Kouri assumed the responsibilies as pastor when former Pastor Rod Seago was commissioned by the Lord and Apostolic Ministries International to return to South Africa to oversee the planting of new churches and work with church leaders to restore the foundations of New Testament Christianity and reform the Church in that country.  Brother Kouri and his wife Sandra each have more than 50 years experience in the ministry.  Learn more about Bishop Kouri by clicking here.

The King's Church offers many opportunities for each member of the family and every age group to learn the ways of Father's family and serve the Kingdom of His Son, starting with our Nursery and King's Kids and continuing with the King's Cafe for teens, the King's Men, the King's Women, and including the King's Academy.  Also, in addition to many opportunities to serve the community of Jacksonville, the King's Church's partnership with Apostolic Ministries and Churches International, the Communion of Apostolic Churches, and the Apostles Theological Seminary provides many unusual opportunities for national and international missions.

The King's Church is on a quest. Not for the latest fad or hottest buzzword, but for the authentic faith of Jesus originally entrusted to the apostles and revealed to us in the Scriptures. We are committed to knowing Him and building His Kingdom not ours. He is head of the Church and this church.

Love God, Love People. God is relational. He jealously desires our hearts. He wants us to share life with Him and with each other. Covenant with God is a deep, living relationship where the greatest question in our lives is, “Father what do you desire?” Learning to hear, follow, and worship Christ the King in the Spirit and in truth is the heart and center of the King's Church. And relationship with each other in His covenant of grace and developing Kingdom culture is as important to our purpose as breathing is to living. Knowing God without loving people is as empty as not knowing God at all. Real, connected, sacrificial relationships are sweeter to God than all the hymns ever sang. Our desire is to be known in Jacksonville by our love.

Push Back Darkness. Our worship and prayer services, administration of His ordinances, discipleship training classes, ministry and outreach opportunities are all designed to please the Lord as head of the Church and enable the saints to push back darkness. Spiritual conquest of Satan's kingdom (the kingdom's of this world) is the rising of the sun that pushes back darkness. It is the anti-venom that saves the body from the snakebite. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. The King's Church exists to be a part of the advance of Christ's Kingdom in Jacksonville. Not through picket signs and bad attitudes. The weapons of our warfare are not fleshly. Instead the Lord has given us powerful spiritual weapons of faith, hope, love, prayer, service, creativity, passion, and beauty. As the light of Jesus dispels the shadows in our lives we are free to shine everywhere we go. The King's Church is a place where light meets darkness and the darkness runs.

The Apostles’ Creed

We believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come again to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic* church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. AMEN.

The King's Church is an allotment or "local" congregation of the one, apostolic, catholic or global Church of Jesus the King. All of the last 2000 years of the history of the Christian Faith is our heritage. There is much in that heritage we love and much that embarrasses and shames us. However, we acknowledge that Christianity did not begin with us; we have a common heritage with the whole body of Christ. We think that what you do is what you believe. Visit us sometime and see for yourself what we believe.

We are available to answer any questions. We offer a special Pastor's Class, "The Essentials of Apostolic Christianity", that covers our beliefs about Jesus, His Kingdom, His Church, and our world. You may e-mail our Pastor at gekouri@mac.com to learn more about the class or to set up a special appointment to discuss the Christian faith or to find placement in His global body. (This e-mail address is protected from spambots.)

The King's Church is also an active member of the Apostolic Ministries And Churches International and under the spiritual jurisdiction of the Communion of Apostolic Churches. To learn more about our vision as a congregation or review in more detail what we believe you may visit AMCI and the CAC at www.cacvirtual.org and review the About the CAC, the Articles of Constitution, and Member pages.
