KC is a church planting pastor sent out by Concordia Lutheran Church - Garland, TX .  

 

Over the years he has served as a Director of Christian  Education (DCE), worship leader, and mission developer in a variety of settings.  He graduated from Concordia Seward Nebraska as a DCE with a bachelor's degree in Theology and a minor in Youth & Family Ministry. He received his SMP (Specific Ministry Pastor) Degree from Concordia Seminary in St. Louis.

 

His wife, Megan teaches in the Prosper ISD.  They have four beautiful children: Adelaide, Judah, Kohen, and Emery.

 

After years of praying and seeking God’s direction and will for their future in ministry, one simple question posed by a mentor pastor changed everything… that question was, “Have you ever thought about church planting?”  After a long time of prayer, discussion, and conversations with other church planters - it was clear that God was calling the Knippa family to embark on a new journey to help expand the Kingdom.

​

They began discussions with Concordia Lutheran Church about this new calling and opportunity for partnership in starting a new church. Concordia affirmed this new ministry effort and agreed to support and commission the Knippa family as local missionaries and church planters.

 

Both KC and Megan have the heart to reach the unchurched and de-churched people living in ‘exile’ in our modern suburbs.  Both are gifted in different yet complimentary ways - but together they excel in showing Christ’s love through meaningful relationships, hospitality, and ‘doing life together’. They long to see a new generation of God-seekers returning to the Church through healing, reconstruction of their faith, and a shift to a wholistic worship mindset.
