ABOUT KINGDOM CULTURE

Kingdom Culture International Ministries (KCIM) is a contemporary Christian church. Because of God's great love to us, through the gift of salvation which can only be found in Jesus, we were birth out of worship, are passionate about the local church, are committed to building healthy kingdom communities, and are on a mission to see God's kingdom established globally.

KCIM was founded by Apostle Henry Petty, Sr. and Apostle M. J. Petty in 2001 in the city of Chicago, Illinois. What started with just 15 members grew to well over 100 members within the first year, and the growth continued. With a rich history of experiencing the power of God through miracles, signs, and wonders, KCIM continued to thrive for many years making an undeniable impact on the city of Chicago for the glory of the Lord.

In September of 2020, Apostle Henry Petty, Sr. and Apostle M.J. Petty installed Pastor Henry Petty, Jr. (Pastor HP) as the new Lead Pastor of KCIM, along with his wife, Lady Qiana Petty.  Under their leadership KCIM now has 2 locations within the Chicagoland area (Chicago and Southwest). In October of 2024, the pastoral leadership of KCIM expanded with the installation Pastor Fred T. Williams (Pastor Fred) as Executive Lead Pastor. Together, Pastor HP and Pastor Fred work hand in hand to see the vision of KCIM fulfilled in the earth.

The mission of Kingdom Culture International Ministries is to nurture the whole man spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. We are a Bible-believing church that want to see the body of Christ grow and be a force in transforming communities one soul at a time.

Jesus first! We are a Bible-believing church. We trust his Word, follow his lead, and honor him above all.

We think big! We go all in with a risk-taking faith.

We are driven by purpose, not by programs, personalities, buildings, or budgets.

We keep it real and fight against fake. We live and lead with authenticity.

We discover healing together.

Everybody belongs!

We partner with the community and get creative to reach more people.

We discover our gifts and grow from consumers into contributors. We refuse to use people.

We believe that the Bible is God's Word. It is accurate, authoritative, and applicable to our everyday lives.

We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.

We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, as both God and man, is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life.

We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the 'new birth' we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.

We believe that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptized in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables us to use spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues.

We believe in the power and significance of the Church and the necessity of believers to meet regularly together for fellowship, prayer and the 'breaking of bread'.

We believe that God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfill our role in the Church and serve the community in which we live.

We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and blessed lives in order to help others more effectively.

We believe that our eternal destination of either Heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.
