Every week, dozens of volunteers help make ministry happen at Commission Church.

On average, 127 people attend our service on Sunday. That means 71% of our church serves in some capacity on Sunday Mornings at Commission!

You welcome guests, teach kids, lead groups, serve behind the scenes, run technology, prepare spaces, and invest in people. Because of your faithfulness, lives are being impacted every week.

We want to say thank you. We could not do this without you!

Prayer Service and Youth Time Change
TLDR Commission Youth and our Midweek Prayer Gathering now both meet starting at 6:30pm. We’re moving to a later time to better serve working individuals, families, and parents dropping off students for youth. Our prayer gathering is becoming a more structured and interactive experience with guided prayer, worship, and community connection. Midweek Is Changing at Commission Church Starting next Wednesday, both Commission Youth and our Midweek Prayer Gathering will meet from 6:30. For a while now, we’ve recognized that our previous 5:30pm start time created challenges for many families and working individuals trying to get across the city after work, school, practices, and dinner. We want midweek ministry to be accessible, life-giving, and realistic for the people we’re trying to serve. This adjustment creates space for more people to participate in both youth ministry and prayer together. A Better Rhythm for Families Commission Youth will continue meeting every Wednesday night, but now with an earlier start time. At the same time, we are intentionally relaunching and reshaping our Midweek Prayer Gathering into a more structured and meaningful experience. For many parents, Wednesday nights often become a drop-off and pick-up routine or a waiting period filled with unstructured dead time. We want to create an opportunity for those moments to become spiritually meaningful, too. Instead of simply waiting, parents and adults can now gather together for prayer, connection, worship, and encouragement while students are in youth service. Why Prayer Matters + A Real Story One of the things we love about prayer gatherings is how they connect real life to real faith. Alison S. is a great example of this. Many times, she has come into prayer carrying burdens from conversations she had with coworkers earlier that same day. Her coworkers know she belongs to a praying community. They know there are people who will stand with them in prayer. Many times a month, she comes with their requests because she has built a reputation for caring for her co-workers. That’s the kind of culture we want to continue building at Commission Church. A place where people know they are not alone. A place where burdens are shared. A place where faith becomes active in everyday life. What to Expect Our new Midweek Prayer Gathering will include rotating practices: Guided prayer moments Small group prayer opportunities Worshipful prayer environments Intentional time praying for needs in our congregation, city, schools, workplaces, and families Space to connect relationally with others Whether you feel confident praying out loud or you are brand new to prayer gatherings, this environment is for you. Your Next Step Join us next Wednesday at 6:30pm. 📍 Commission Church 🕡 Wednesdays | 6:30pm 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Bring your student to Commission Youth and stay for prayer. Come with a need. Come expecting God to move. Come be part of a praying community.

FIND KIDS | CAN OUTREACH 6/6/26
Be a Light in the Darkness 6.6.26 OutreachSign up here As the World Cup approaches, our city will experience an influx of visitors from around the world. While major events bring excitement and opportunity, they also bring increased risks for human trafficking and exploitation, especially among vulnerable children and teenagers. As followers of Jesus, we cannot ignore the darkness around us. We are called to be a light in the darkness and to help set the captive free. On June 6, 2026, churches and believers from across the Kansas City area will mobilize together for a CAN outreach focused on awareness, prayer, and practical action. Teams will then go together into the community to connect with hotel clerks, truck stops, and other key locations where trafficking risks may increase during major events. Earlier this year, during a similar outreach, 10 of the 18 children featured on missing posters connected to the effort were found. Stories like these remind us that awareness matters, prayer matters, and people willing to go make a difference. We believe the Church should not retreat from darkness. We believe we are called into it, carrying the hope, love, and freedom of Jesus. The outreach will mobilize from Central Assembly in Independence, Missouri, and we would love for you to join us. These outreaches are: SAFE EFFECTIVE EASY COLLABORATIVE FAST Sign up today and help us be a light in our city. YOU MUST SIGN UP TO PARTICIPATE! When you sign up, make sure to register for the MO/KC Location at Central AG in Independence!Sign up here
