Navah Church KC

Navah Church KC Bring home. Make beautiful. Our story stems back to the roots of friendship, prayer and dreaming. in 2003. Friends who actually have become Kingdom family.

Five of us (Adam Cox, David & Molly Blackwell and Nathan & Marisa Chud) moved to Kansas City several years ago to pursue Jesus individually. We ended up meeting one another and striking up friendships that have surprised us all. It is quite simple actually - we really liked each other, which led to a lot of praying and dreaming together about things that Jesus cares about in his world. The next st

ep was the five of us moving into a foreclosed former drug house on the East side of K.C. We had no idea what a crazy often-comical adventure awaited. Essentially not much has changed since those early days except there are a lot more friends to pray and dream with. We are growing up together. Our dreaming led us at one point to England where we bumped into a fellow named Pete. He told us this incredible story about other groups of friends like us praying and conspiring all over the world. That was our crashing introduction to the 24-7 Prayer movement. Leaving England, we all had the sneaking suspicion that our conversation was no coincidence, and it turns out we were right. We have been a part of that global family of friends now since 2004, watching God work in astounding ways. We were invited to pioneer the 24-7 Prayer office in the USA, and eventually accepted the invitation after much discussion, prayer and a few kicks in the pants. Through that we have had the privilege of hearing story after story of God’s incredible work in almost every strand of the Christian faith. Another facet to the 24-7 Prayer movement that we stumbled across was the emergence of Boiler Rooms. These new prayer communities committed to being places of rhythm - rest and sabbath, thoughtful engagement with neighbors, on mission in our world. Our Father was delighted to add to our lives both those from Kansas City and a few that courageously uprooted and moved here. The emergence of the K.C. Boiler Room in 2005 was merely an extension of the fruit of these relationships. We felt compelled to open wide our arms and share the good things we had experienced in friendship, prayer and dreaming. It was extremely natural to continue deepening the values we had already been living through increased intentionality. We are an ever evolving Kingdom family existing for and centered around Jesus. We are a church growing up in love for God, one another and the world. It seems with each new friend the living organism of family is slightly shifted to present a more full picture of love. You are welcomed at the table in the intimate friendship and honoring culture of Kingdom family. Join us in the Father’s gracious “Kingdom Come” adoption dream for Kansas City and all the peoples of His earth. We can only wonder what is next in God’s unfolding Story.

Mission Sunday !! We were honored to have three brilliant organizations share and mobilize us in to join Jesus’ mission to love and restore KC. Empire Dreams working with disenfranchised east side neighborhoods, Eden Village creating community in 22 long term tiny homes for houseless KC residents and United in Crisis helping mobilize the church to be ready in city emergency to respond with care. We got to raise money for a new well in Zambia and baptize two new followers of Jesus that have radically encountered his love. What joy to be the church of Jesus!

The God Story was shaped and formed in our beautiful community over many years. Who remembers those Wednesday nights - sitting on the concrete floor for hours - as we sat mesmerized by this creative retelling of scripture?
It was part of the core teaching that our training schools - transit, vision course and prepare - pivoted around. It’s laid into the foundations of how we approach and love the scriptures as a community. It’s been a gift to other 24-7 prayer communities around the world and now it’s available to many through this beautiful book written by Alain Emerson and our very own

Buy a copy for a friend or the person you have been praying for at noon each day- let’s keep remembering to be moved from familiar to fascinated as we read the scripture. Join Adam next week in prayer on the Lectio365 app as we journey through the 3rd week if a series based on The God Story.

EIGHTEEN : Happy Birthday NAVAH 🎉 We celebrate all of you that have made up our beautiful story over the years- from 2005 to 2023!

This picture is from the very first official ’KC Boiler Room’ gathering in the Monarch building on Main Street on September 5th 2005. About 40 of us gathered around this center pillar, committing to keep Jesus as the center of the church. Then looking at each other remembering that it takes us all to be the church- every part bringing their contribution.
It’s also our global family’s birthday today, happy 24 years we are so thankful to be a part of the family!
