Kiev Good News Church сelebrates first anniversary

The Kiev Good News Church will celebrate it’s 1st anniversary on Saturday, March 15th at the Dom Kongress, Christian Telegraph reports.

Pastor Rick Renner says, “Its hard to believe its already been one year since we started the church in Kiev, but it has been a wonderful and powerful year. The church has grown very fast, and the church is already very stable. We’re so grateful for everything we have seen the Lord do in the past 12 months and believe it is only the beginning of what the Lord will do in the years to come.”

The Kiev Good News Church has two services each Saturday that is attended by 1,200 regular attendees. Co-pastor, Pavel Stefoglo, says: “Every week we have 180 children in our children’s ministry, about 90 in our youth services, about 120 are active in our Zolotoi Bek, 400 women participate regularly in our women’s ministry, close to 75 people are really active in our worship ministry, 45 people serve faithfully as ushers, 50 students are studying in our seminary, many people are involved in our prayer ministry, and we just started our family ministry and home group ministry this week. If we count everyone who is serving in the church, there are about 250 people serving in some capacity. We feel that’s a good beginning since it amounts to almost one half of the people who regularly attend our church.”

Pastor Rick Renner adds, “Our goal was to have 1,200 people in our church by the first anniversary, and we thank God that He enabled us to reach this goal. Just recently, we did a statistical analysis of our attendance, and there are actually about 2,500 people who are regularly coming to this church at least 2 times a month, but every week there are right at 1,200. My heart is just filled with thanksgiving to God. What is especially exciting is to see how many people have been saved during these past twelve months!”

At the anniversary celebration on March 15 there will be a special album presentation of brand new music produced by the Good News Churches in Moscow and Kiev. In addition to the large team of musicians and singers in the Kiev church, a group of 50 musicians are coming from Moscow to take part in the church anniversary. Pavel Stefoglo says, “It’s going to be two powerful services filled with worship and the strong presence of God. We invite everyone to come and receive from the Lord with us on March 15. Everyone is welcome to come celebrate with us!”
