What is KFW Midwest?
KFW Midwest is a unique opportunity for Biblical edification and regional connection, with a special focus on spiritual renewal, fervent prayer, and absolute surrender to King Jesus. We are committed to a Christian expression that is Christ-centered, Scripture-anchored, and kingdom-focused, as modeled by the Anabaptist way of following Jesus.
KFW Midwest is a regional version of the annual KFW event that originated in Pennsylvania.

Kingdom Teaching
Find inspiration in a series of messages that draw you into God's grand story and renew your desire to pursue His vision for this world.
Prayer Groups
Meet in small groups to reflect on messages and share what God has been speaking to you. KFW participants often say that prayer groups are the most impactful part of the weekend.
Fellowship
We intentionally structure the weekend so you have plenty of time to visit around tables and campfires. Our hope is that friendships formed during the weekend become new points of connection throughout the year.
Singing
Join in collective worship as we worship our King together! A youth choir will also be incorporated into the weekend.
