Win the lost to Jesus and disciple believers to live holy lives.
We have made a commitment to do whatever is necessary to reach unchurched or dechurched people. Once we establish a relationship with them and they establish a relationship with God, they become part of Christ's body or the church. We openly welcome people with challenges and problems but are seeking a relationship with God and others.
Celebration: We believe that to have an effective community we must commit to a time of weekly celebration. At these celebrations you will experience authentic worship and challenging Biblical teaching on issues that are important to you today. We are a church that is fluid adjusting our methods along the way to more effectively be the Church to our community.
Community: We are a church that cherishes authentic community providing community groups to foster genuine and transparent relationships. Community groups or small groups play an essential role in the care and development of a believer. We are a church that is constantly growing knowing that none of us have arrived in our spiritual journey, but are here to spur one another on in our spiritual transformation.
Call: We are a church that sees the potential in people and facilitates them in discovering Gods design for their life and contribution to His kingdom. We believe that Gods design was for every believer to participate in serving and building the church. We are a church that is compassionate about people with needs in our community and is actively looking for ways to serve others in our community and around the world.
Christ-Centered: The call of God has been the same since the beginning of time. We are called to surrender our lives and center them around Jesus Christ. At Kingman Nazarene we strongly urge people to participate in Celebration, Community, and Call. While these three activities are biblical and commendable they all should be viewed and carried out through the perspective of Christ-centeredness. The mission of our church is to lead people into a growing relationship with Christ. We strongly encourage, teach, and promote living the Christ-centered life as part of that growing relationship.
Pastor Toni Henry is the Lead at Kingman Church of the Nazarene (KNAZ). Before being appointed to the Lead Pastor position in January 2020, she spent 15 years serving our church as Pastor to Youth, Children, & Families .
As a child, she rode the church bus to church where she accepted Jesus into her life at age 12. In 2003, she felt God calling her to become a pastor, but being super shy, there was no way that would ever happen! Except, in Christ, all things are possible!! (Philippians 4:13) So, in spite of herself, in 2015, she was ordained as an Elder in the Church of the Nazarene.
God is so Good!!
Pastor Toni has been married to Scott for 28 years. They joke about being married over half their lives. They have 2 awesome adult kids, 2 adorable kitties, an elusive lizard and beautiful blue betta fish.
She currently serves on the AZ District Nazarene Missions International (NMI) Council as secretary and works with the AZ District Children's Council at Summer Camp.
Pastor Toni's passion is serving people so they can experience God's love and be transformed the way she was. She especially loves helping children and youth discover their potential in the unique way God created them. Her desire is to see families come to church and serve the Lord together.
Pastor Toni's life verse is: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
God is still doing amazing things... here in Kingman and around the world!!
