We want to take time to thank God for all He has done within and through the foundation this year. We believe God is moving and know that if we continue focusing on His Kingdom First, He will be faithful to guide us and remove any obstacle in our path so we can see revival and growth within His church locally, nationally, and globally.
Church Revitalization and The Pastor’s Cohort
Pastors from all four churches involved with KGF’s Pastor’s Cohort gathering
God brought four churches into a partnership with the foundation through our first pastor’s cohort, Emmanuel Community Church, Heritage Hills Baptist Church, Rockdale Baptist Church, and White Oak Hills Baptist Church. It has been exciting to see how He is moving through each church as they seek what God is calling them to do in the communities that He has placed them in. We are excited to see what God does through the cohort in the coming year as He lays the foundation for an intentional revitalization in each church.
Community Revitalization at White Oak Hills Baptist Church
White Oak Hills Baptist Church has been praying and seeking what God would have them do in their community in Dekalb County. They felt God calling them to develop a community not only to provide housing for Senior adults, but also to create one centered on Christ. God has put them in a unique position next to Redan High School, allowing them to see multiple generations impacted through God’s work through the church. The foundation worked with the church and DeKalb County to see this dream come to fruition and was honored to present White Oak Hills with a $10,000 grant to assist with what God is doing through their ministry.

New Kingdom Growth Strategist
Dr. Ken Hemphill
We are excited that Dr. Ken Hemphill agreed to come alongside the foundation as our Kingdom Growth Strategist. He has been instrumental in helping the foundation through his leadership, wisdom, and experience, as we focus on seeing churches grow and be revitalized.
Seeing Men Grow
The foundation partnered with both Rockdale Baptist Church and River Hills Church to invest in their men’s ministries as they work with men to discover who God wants them to be as believers, husbands, fathers, workers, and leaders.

The foundation was honored to be guests at Peace Baptist Church’s Global Impact Celebration, as they looked at what God had done through their emphasis on missions and community outreach as well as looking ahead to the upcoming year. It was humbling to hear how God was moving through their programs and partnerships.
Strategic partnerships And Kingdom Builders Event

We were also blessed to form a partnership with the National Christian Foundation. We are thankful to Debra Potter for coming to share at our Kingdom Builders event, where we explored how churches can begin to have honest and productive conversations on what it means to have a Kingdom-focused generosity, and how NCF can come alongside churches to help facilitate those conversations through one of their Journey of Generosity retreats.
The foundation also formed a partnership with The Ministry Program to offer churches an alternative source for supplies they need for everyday operations, office supplies, furniture, etc. This will help churches stretch their budgets further while still receiving excellent customer service within an organization created specifically for churches and ministries.
How can you get involved?
As we move into 2026, our focus is on making prayer a priority. So the first way that you can get involved with what God is doing through the foundation is by joining us in prayer. We invite you to join our prayer team, where you will not only find specific ways to pray for the foundation and our partner churches, but also praise God for how He is answering prayers. We are asking you to commit to praying for each request daily during your quiet time. Join our prayer team at https://www.kingdom-growth.net/prayer.
We appreciate everyone who contributes to the foundation's work. We would not be able to do the work we feel God is calling us to do without your support. We ask that you pray and seek God’s will in supporting the foundation financially. Your dollars are reinvested in our church revitalization efforts, and you can provide tangible support for the work God is doing in our communities and churches. You can make a tax-deductible gift at https://www.kingdom-growth.net/give or by reaching out to Charles Reynolds at creynolds@kingdom-growth.net
You can also support the foundation through a partnership. Our members have access to our partnerships with the National Christian Foundation, Our Journey of Hope Cancer Care Ministry, and The Ministry Program. Our goal is to see local churches grow into flourishing and healthy churches, to see God’s Kingdom grow. We believe the unique blend of partners we already have allows us to assist churches in a multitude of ways. There are no fees for partnering, but it will enable us to keep your church or ministry up to date on what’s happening at the foundation. You can find out how you can partner with the foundation by reaching out to Charles Reynolds at creynolds@kingdom-growth.net to learn more.
We also have resources available through our bookstore. These Biblically grounded studies explore a range of topics that are key to seeing churches healthy and growing through topical and scriptural studies. We provide these resources at reduced cost, along with access to free teaching resources for many of the studies, as a ministry to local churches. You can find our resources at https://www.kingdom-growth.net/store or reach out to Ben Reynolds at bjreynolds@kingdom-growth.net to find out more.
How can we pray for you?
As we commit to turning our focus back to prayer, we want to know how we can pray for your church and ministry. As we pray with you, we will be excited to see how God answers prayer and be able to celebrate together, as a community of prayer warriors, His work. Let us know how we can be praying for you at https://www.kingdom-growth.net/contactor by reaching out to Ben Reynolds at bjreynolds@kingdom-growth.net with your requests.
