Who We Are
Our Board
Our Staff
Collective Church is led by a Board of Directors made up of 6 leaders and

day-to-day operations of the church.

Our Partners
Collective Church exists because of churches planting churches. We hope to continue this legacy story by developing and supporting church planters in the future.

Why Kinston
.jpg)
Our target area is a 10 mile radius around Downtown Kinston which includes the city of Kinston and parts of Lenoir County; a population of roughly 50,000 people. According to census data, around half of that population doesn't know Jesus. These 25,000 people are why we are launching Collective.
Messy People
A church for messy people
Life is hard and nobody is perfect. We are all messy, imperfect people who need Jesus. We don't want to hide our problems and hurts because we will never heal or grow if we stay in the dark.
A church of messy people
To make a difference in our city, our families, and our lives, we have to be willing to get messy and do difficult things. We're willing to do anything short of sin to help people find hope in Jesus.

Where We Meet
What You Can Expect On Sunday's
Collective Culture
You can expect a welcoming, friendly, and judgement-free experience from the moment you arrive at Collective. We will have volunteers to help answer any questions and guide you where to go. Dress casual and be yourself.
Collective Kids
(Nursery-Elementary)
Our Collective Kids program will be the best thing about Collective Church. It will be a safe, fun place for kids ages 0-10 to learn about Jesus, play, and make friends. Our best leaders will serve in Collective Kids; all of our volunteers will be vetted and background checked.
Collective Worship
Our services will last around 50 minutes. We will have engaging worship, church announcements, a relatable sermon, and celebrations. Our goal for our Sunday services will be to help people decide if they want to take their next step in following Jesus.
Sunday Services are coming soon
