Kainos is a Spirit-filled church with a heart for the TTU campus, those who feel they don’t fit, and anyone who has never experienced the fulfillment that comes from a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Our Mission
Our fundamental mission is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ globally, drawing inspiration from the Great Commission as outlined in Matthew 28:18-20. We are committed to following the example set by Jesus in Acts 1:8, which emphasizes the importance of the Holy Spirit's empowerment in our endeavors. We believe in initiating our efforts at the local level, then expanding to regional, national, and ultimately international stages.
Finding Identity - Serving God - Loving People - Changing the World
Kainos Church is a Bible-based, multidimensional fellowship of believers. Multidimensional means that we are a multi-generational, multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, and multi-economic church. We are committed to experiencing, explaining, and expanding God’s Diverse Kingdom in the city and throughout the world.
We are committed to helping people of all ages find their true identity, then teaching them to serve God passionately by loving and caring for people, and ultimately making positive change across the world. (Colossians 1:9-14)
What to expect when you visit
Come as you are. Expect a warm, hospitable, spirit-filled experience with sincere worship and message. We don’t have all of the bells and whistles but we love the Lord and we love each other.
Service is at 10:00 AM at Peachtree Learning Center on the corner of 4th and Walnut in Cookeville, behind the hospital.
At Kainos, our vision is clear: Discovering who we are in Christ enables us to serve God and love people. Together, we aim to make a difference in the world by transforming lives. Join us in exploring our identity, growing in faith, showing love, and changing the world.
