Kairos Church exists to see all people in Stirling and beyond: encounter Christ, follow Christ, and lead others to Christ.
We have a mission to see God raise up a Gospel-centred, Spirit-Filled, God-Glorifying city centre church that boldly preaches the gospel, in the power of the Spirit, reaches the lost, develops disciples, and plants missional churches in Stirling, and beyond.
We are a Jesus centred community, where we actively anticipate the manifestation of God’s presence and kingdom through worship; preaching and teaching God’s Word; the gifts of the Holy Spirit; prayer; and fellowship and unity with all believers.
We desire to create a culture where people can be honest, without fear of judgement and at the same time encouraging one another to be all that Christ would have us to be. We want to be a people who don’t just ‘talk the talk’ but ‘walk the walk.’ We believe a grace saturated atmosphere frees us to be honest and empowers us to grow in Christ-like maturity.
We believe God wants us to have an impact on the city, communities, family, friends and all who come across our path. Therefore we seek to be led by the Spirit and proactive in our relationships with others in the hope that people encounter the life changing presence of Jesus. Our heart is to raise up, train, and equip every believer to have an impact in their own spheres of influence.
We are committed to nurturing an environment of healing, wholeness and recovery for all. We believe there is no such thing as a hopeless case, and that God is in the business of restoring our broken lives.
We take the call to make disciples seriously. We aim to be a people who proactively engage with the lost to help them discover the love of God and salvation that’s freely available through Jesus. God has not called us to a holy huddle of isolation, but to be a missional community of multiplication.
We are passionate about creating a welcoming culture that actively honours others through heartfelt hospitality, generosity, and serving. We specifically look to serve and support those who are suffering, marginalised, struggling with addiction, and facing times of trauma.
