Missions at KBC

Below are the missions that KBC provides. Click HERE to let us know if you would like to get involved.

Family Food Pantry

The Family Food Pantry is a ministry funded by KBC, but supported by numerous partner churches and individuals. The pantry serves the local and immigrant population in south St. Louis centered around the Bevo Mill area. Space is generously provided by the Jubilee Church at Chippewa and Kingshighway and the pantry is open every Saturday morning. The work of the pantry is to show the love of Christ by providing nutritional support to those in need and to forge connections within the community.

Cuba Partnership

Teams from our church have made visits to our sister churches in Cuba since the 1990s to maintain our close ties of friendship, prayer, and support for one other. In recent years, we’ve been working with Iglesia Bautista Canaan in the town of Bolivia. Some of the most joyous times are when we help with summer Bible Schools for the children. We have also provided gifts for the repair of hurricane damage to the church building, and supplies for their new water purification system which provides clean water to the community as a way of outreach and ministry.

Hospitality Homes

KBC has two homes on our property which provide housing for families out of town/out of the country while their loved one is in the hospital. Families usually stay between 1 – 6 months and our Hospitality Team provides care for the families during their stay.

Since we have started this ministry in late 2018, we have served dozens of families who have come from states as close as Iowa, to countries as far away as South Africa. A dedicated group of volunteers prepare the homes for each new family and provide them with tasty snacks when they first arrive. There are many different ways people can get involved.

Local Missions

KBC and its members are also involved in a variety of local missions throughout greater St. Louis. Here are the local ministries we work with and/or financially support:

Friendship International

Justine PETERSEN

International Fellowship

International Fellowship is a ministry in South Saint Louis City. This ministry began among the many immigrants from the former Yugoslavia, but now touches neighbors from many countries through hospitality, friendship, and translation services.
