About Our Church
History
Spring
of 1991 Pastor Jim Reimer and a small group of Christians from Kootenay
Lake Community Church in Crawford Bay began to have Friday night meetings
in the Slumber Lodge (Baker Street Inn) for the purpose of developing a
congregation in Nelson.
Eventually the meeting time changed from Friday nights to Sunday
afternoons and then to Sunday mornings. In 1995 Pastor Jim gave full time
attention to developing a congregation in Nelson. He left the pastoral
work at Crawford Bay to evangelize and coordinate ministry in Nelson. The
congregation grew and purchased their present facility in January 1996.
The majority of those attending KOOTENAY CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP are under 35
years old. KCF is active in reaching young people, assisting people in
their human struggles, and helping people connect with spiritual
realities. Through God’s power, it is common to hear testimonies of lives
changed and people healed of emotional and life debilitating problems.
Our two
main formats for meetings are:
Large Group: New Time: Sundays at 10:00 AM
This meeting is characterized with up tempo music, coffee times,
testimonials, and relevant preaching. The expected length of this meeting
is usually 2 hours. The large group meeting is held in the gym at Central
Educational Centre located at Mill and Ward Street in Nelson, B.C..
Small Group:
Held on various days and various times, these meetings are held in members
homes. The emphasis is on building relationships and intimacy. The
attendance of each group is about 6 -12 people. Confidentiality and
respect of individuals is a high value.
