We invite you to explore and connect with existing New Worshiping Communities in the Kansas City Area.
Centerfield is a sports ministry dedicated to the physical and spiritual lives of the children in our community. Grown out of South Broadland Presbyterian Church which sits on an acre of land in the heart of our Waldo neighborhood, t-ball and softball have been enjoyed here for years. This new community provides training for parents to become coaches, on and off the field, and for children to be teammates to all of God’s creation. Community food and music events are ongoing. All are welcome to join us, as we seek together to worship God through play.
Reach out to Todd Moore (he/him) for more information: wtm911@gmail.com.
Farmstead Eight
Farmstead Eight (formerly Harvest Table) is a NWC that emerged from a worship experiment and is growing into a larger vision for their eight acres of property surrounding the church building. Their gatherings include communion and a fellowship meal after worship. The community believes in showing up as their real selves, sharing authentically with others and watching the Spirit bless and shape them in real ways. Together, they are creating a community where all are welcome and safe to wonder and question, explore and discover, know and be known.
This community is led by Patience Acosta (she/her). Connect with them through their website.
The Arabic Fellowship is a spiritual and social ministry to the Arabic-speaking communities of the Kansas City area led by Amgad Megally (he/him). They worship weekly in Arabic and English, gather outside of worship to encourage our community, and serve the Arabic-speaking immigrants of this city of all faiths. English-speaking friends are welcome to join them any time!
Reach out to Amgad for more information: amgadf70@yahoo.com.
Guerreros en Oración
Guerreros en Oración is a Spanish-speaking prayer community led by Carmen Flores (she her). This NWC is partnering with Grandview Park Presbyterian Church. Carmen is an interpreter and co-pastor at Grandview Park.
Connect with this community on their Facebook page or by emailing Carmen: carmita_flores_kc@hotmail.com.
Parkville Living Center
Led by Marcus Flores (he/him) and partnering with Parkville Presbyterian Church, the Parkville Living Center aims to engage the local community and provide a space to be in relationship with our neighbors, our deeper self, and with God. Marcus may be the torchbearer, but with God's grace and blessing this NWC will be an inspired collection of efforts from the surrounding community of Parkville, Missouri.
If you’d like to connect with Marcus and this community, please visit parkvillelivingcenter.org.
JOY Community
The JOY Community gathers in a beautiful, sacred space offering solace and restoration for body and soul. JOY’s birth was from a Laudato Si understanding of seeking equity through both social and environmental justice. Community leaders offer opportunities for sacred connections as they honor the Matthew 25 call. JOY hosts monthly gatherings (currently online) including candle or sage-burning prayer vigils in response to local and global needs and opportunities for advocacy in eco-justice and honoring God’s gift of Creation. Come, share enriching opportunities for body and soul through heart-centered breathing and gentle yoga as JOY gathers in the Spirit of the ever-present Christ. Come to JOY — Justice, Outreach and Yoga.

Story Haven
Story Haven is a New Worshiping Community focused on storytelling as a path to spiritual growth, connection, and justice. Here, we believe that every person’s story matters—the triumphs, the struggles, the doubts, and the joys. Through music, reflection, and shared narratives, we create a space where all are welcome, where the Spirit moves, and where faith comes alive in conversation and lived experience. For more information, contact them at storyhavenkc@gmail.com
Selah
Located at Heritage Presbyterian Church in Olathe, Selah is a space to pause, breathe, and rest in God’s presence. We offer workshops, retreats, classes, support groups, and creative worship gatherings — all designed to help you connect more deeply with yourself, with others, and with God.
