About Us

The name "King of Kings Church" was given to me while I was worshipping at Bethel Church in Redding, California. Then, I was given the vision of the four faces: lion, eagle, ox, and man. I wrote them down, and with each one came a value. Lion: courage; Eagle: commitment; Ox: servanthood; Man: excellence.
​
When I returned home to New Zealand, I was not sure what God wanted me to do with this, so I prayed about it on and off for a year. After some time, God helped me realize that He wanted the church to be His church again. He would have His name over it, and He would be responsible for it. God wanted His Church to break out of the mentality of being "slaves" and "victims" to people who understood their transmuted state as a royal family. Kings of the "King of Kings".
​
Going back to the four faces, Ezekiel 1:10 and 10:14 mention they were Cherubim who carried the very presence of God; they enthroned Him. As a church, we believe we are to carry the very presence of God in the church and in our community.
​
The faces are said to be the four faces of the gospel. Matthew: Lion—speaking of the King and His Kingdom; Mark: Oxen—Jesus was the perfect servant; Luke: Man—Jesus was the perfect man; he was a man of excellence; John: Eagle—John gives a prophetic revelation of Jesus and his origin as the Creator. Eagles see from a great distance.
​
Our church's catch cry is "to be like him.".
​
In the Bible, Jesus is sometimes referred to as the Lion of Judah. It took great courage for Jesus to announce another kingdom in Israel in the face of Roman occupation. Judah means praise, and in Judges 1:1–12 and 20:18, we read how, as worshippers, they were sent first into battle. For singers and musicians to face swords and spears, it takes courage. As God's people, we also must stand up with courage in the face of the great opposition we face from many directions.
​
Like Jesus, the perfect servant, we are called to serve the great course of the gospel with the great and noble characteristic of servanthood (Mark 10:44).
​
Like Jesus, we are to carry a spirit of excellence, desiring to please Him by doing our very best in every endeavour of life we choose.
​
Like Jesus, who was committed to His mission of going all the way to the cross to bear the sins of the world, we are called to that place of solid commitment and reliability. Like mother eagles, who are very committed to their chicks, we are to be committed to Jesus and His mission for us—to be both "fishers of men" and to help one another grow into the roles God has for us in His Kingdom.
