Every spring, our fellowship gathers for a "family reunion" of sorts which we refer to as our Spring Gathering.  We meet in one of our KBF partner churches, rotating between the eastern, central and western parts of the state.  Each Spring Gathering offers worship, informative workshops, and helpful resources from various ministry partners in KBF and CBF life.  Please plan to join us in 2012!
