Community is critical to function

God’s men are key components to His Body functioning productively within Park County Wyoming. How can His bride function productively if we don’t even know each other?

We simply can’t!

Cody Kinsmen is purposing to create the opportunity for this community to build and grow. Not to pull men away from the current work where they serve, but instead to pour back into them, equipping them to serve even better in their various jurisdictions.

The mission…

Cody Kinsmen intentionally facilitates Christ centered community, encouraging and equipping men to steward their lives well.

“A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone, when he is fully trained, will be like his teacher.” ~Jesus Christ

Luke 6:40

Because of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which was singularly made available by a loving and merciful Heavenly Father,

We Believe.

We believe our right standing with God triumphs an orphan mindset.  Therefore, scarcity has no place for His children, because we're heirs, adopted into the family.

We believe the garden was God's creative masterpiece on full display, yet man fell.  And since then, God's been in pursuit of the human heart, to redeem it.

We believe God's redemptive story is woven into every fiber of human history, including today, this very moment in time.

We believe that in Him we're made whole, our identity is without blemish.  And so,

We believe.

We believe we must recalibrate our internal compass and reframe our own personal narrative, and that of men.

We believe our pursuits must esteem a sense of valor and excellence in each facet of our lives.

We believe our faith must be more than cheap talk. It must anchor our hearts, standing firm and unwavering in the face of adversity.

We believe our lives should be defined by the successes of those we serve and by the love we bestow on our families.

We believe our work should be an extension of our authentic self, disciplined and refined, uncompromising in its completion and ultimately pointing to the Creator, who then lavishly anoints the work of our hands.

Should we declare these beliefs, it’s because. . .

Because of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is singularly made available by a loving and merciful Heavenly Father.

-By Peter Ostapko

We are men pursuing Christ together, for the good of our families, our community, and the generations to come. See our full statement of faith
