FOR OUR YOUTH

Empowering urban youth in Cedar Rapids through Christ-centered guidance, support, and community.

Our Mission & Story

Following tragic events in our community, we created a safe space for youth in Wellington Heights, Mound View, and Oak Hill Jackson communities.

We Created a Safe Space for Our Youth

Vision: Kingdom Community Center exists to invest God's love in the youth of our community.

Mission: To build up youth to find their purpose in Christ to impact their community.

We exist to create a safe and welcoming space where youth can grow through relationships, mentorship, recreation, learning, and encouragement.
