The Men's Retreat is a three-day, two-night retreat held at Ottawa Valley Pentecostal Camp in Cobden, Ontario. This retreat serves the churches and men of our district and is put on by the Eastern Ontario and Nunavut District of the PAOC.
It is our prayer that every man who attends this year’s Men’s Retreat will be encouraged and challenged to Run to Win. We believe this weekend will be a "reset" for many—a time to throw off what hinders and fix our eyes on Christ.
Sign Up with Pastor Steve.

"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit." Jeremiah 17:7-8

VBS Day Camp - Aug 17-21
Vacation Bible School for SK-Gr 6
This program is an enjoyable experience that offers children the chance to explore a new world when they enter the church. The decorations and ambiance, combined with the exciting program, pique children's curiosity and help them learn more about God in a fun way. Throughout the program, children will learn new songs, listen to Bible lessons, participate in hands-on activities, play games, and make new friends.
If you're interested in getting involved in this program, please connect with Pastor Josh or Ruth-Ann Kohls. We put a lot of effort into transforming the church with decorations and crafts, so we need plenty of volunteers to make it happen. Some roles are behind the scenes, while others involve working directly with the children. There is a way for everyone to be involved.
NOTE: Individuals interested in working with children must complete the Plan to Protect program and provide an up-to-date Police Check.
NOTE: All grades are based on the 2025/26 school year.

Getting Involved
Getting Involved
Church is all about growing in our relationship with God and each other, and serving others both inside and outside the church. Stepping out of our church to make a difference for God in the world in which we live brings God's love to others in our community.
“He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.’” - Mark 16:15
“‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people.’ At once they left their nets and followed him.” - Matthew 4:19-20
This natural progression is something each Christian goes through:
Loving God
Growing Together
Serving Others
Going into the World
KPC has a variety of ways for you to get involved. Find out how you can get started by speaking to Pastor Steve, Pastor Josh, or clicking on the volunteer tab below.

Prayer Nights
Thursdays at 7:00 PM
The importance of prayer is often overlooked. Most of us just pray for God to help us, or to bless us. And most of the time because of our busy lives, prayer is like an afterthought. But why is prayer important? In fact, what is prayer?
Christian prayer is our way of communicating with God. Just like how a child talks and listens to their father, prayer is how we as Christians and children of God converse with Him. And everyone’s conversation with God is different. That is why prayer is the most intimate form of communication that directly connects us to God on a personal level.
Praying to God is simple – all you really have to do is speak to Him with a genuine heart. And the Bible also makes it clear that prayer is really that straightforward. If we call upon the name of the Lord and come to Him in prayer, God listens to us. (Jeremiah 29:12). Prayer is freely given to us by God, which is why we need to understand the importance of prayer.
Hudson Taylor quote captures the true importance of prayer – “When you work, you work. But when you pray, God works.”
