Why Start A New Church?
Kindleway began as a Tuesday night Bible study in a Germantown living room. By the end of 2024 it had outgrown three living rooms, and the group kept meeting neighbors who wanted a church but hadn't found one that fit.
So we started one. We launched in September 2025 in Lowell Hall, an old warehouse on Cedarline Avenue, and we set up and take down every Sunday. We're still small, still learning, and we'd love for you to help shape what comes next.
- ✓Launched September 2025
- ✓Meets in a rented hall
- ✓Built by its members

Built By The People Who Show Up
Every Sunday a team arrives at 8:30 to set out chairs, string the lights, brew coffee and turn a warehouse into a church. In summer we carry the chairs out to the lawn for a gathering outdoors. If you like to be useful, this is the fastest way to belong here.
- ✓Setup and coffee teams
- ✓Kids room volunteers

What A Sunday Looks Like
Coffee From 10:00
Local coffee, something to eat and time to meet people before we start.
Communion Every Week
Bread and the cup on a table at the front. Come forward when you're ready, or stay seated.
Everyone Hangs Around
Nobody rushes out. Most Sundays the last people leave with the chairs.

Ask For The Giving LinkNew Church, Fair Questions
What kind of church is Kindleway?
A new, Bible-teaching church for people who want to follow Jesus with their neighbors. We're independent and not part of a denomination.
Why meet in a warehouse hall?
Because it's what a new church can afford, and it's in the middle of the neighborhood. We set up every Sunday morning and pack up after lunch.
What about my kids?
Kids from 3 to 10 have their own room during the talk, led by screened volunteers. Babies and toddlers are welcome in the hall with you.
How long is the service?
About an hour, starting at 10:30. Come at 10:00 for coffee.
How do I get involved?
Come to a newcomer lunch on the first Sunday, join a starter group, or sign up for the launch team. Send us a message and we'll help you pick.
We Saved You A Chair
