HISTORY OF KINGDOM COME
A Story of Partnership
From One Initiative to a Growing Kingdom Network
Since 2006, Kingdom Come has grown from an initiative launched by The Chapel into an expanding network of partnerships serving communities locally, regionally, nationally, and around the world.
What began as a way for The Chapel family to participate in God's mission has developed into a story of churches, ministries, organizations, and people working together to see the Gospel heard, seen, and lived out.
It Started With a Mission
Kingdom Come was launched by The Chapel in 2006 as the primary way the church family joined God on His mission—what Kingdom Come describes as Missio Dei, or "the Mission of God."
The vision was—and remains—to see every man, woman, and child have repeated opportunities to hear, see, and respond to the transforming Gospel of Jesus Christ.
From the beginning, Kingdom Come was designed around partnership: recognizing that God's Church is made up of many parts and that we are called to work together in pursuit of one mission.
Those partnerships have taken many forms—including financial support, equipment, training, volunteers, facilities, consulting, mentoring, and other forms of collaboration.
And they have taken place across different geographic contexts—from Western New York to communities throughout the United States and around the world.
"We all are one Church with one Mission."

THE STORY CONTINUES
Kingdom Come's history isn't finished.
The needs of our communities continue to change. New churches and organizations emerge. Existing partners discover new opportunities. And God continues to open doors for His people to participate in His mission.
Today, Kingdom Come continues to build relationships and engage opportunities to serve locally, regionally, nationally, and globally.
The forms of partnership may look different from one organization to another, but the purpose remains the same: to participate together in the mission of God.
As Kingdom Come looks toward the future, we remain committed to building relationships that help people discover where God is moving and find their place in His mission. Kingdom Come's history has always been shaped by people willing to participate.
