Welcome to Greater Kansas City
Search came to Kansas City more than four decades after the ministry began in 1977, bringing its relational approach to a city with plenty of personality and plenty of questions worth talking about.
Search Kansas City creates opportunities for adults to explore life, faith, purpose, and God through honest conversation and genuine relationships. You can come curious, skeptical, uncertain, or simply interested in thinking more deeply about what you believe.
Kansas City has plenty to talk about. We like to go a little deeper.
Barbecue, jazz, sports, work, family, and everyday life give people plenty of reasons to connect. Search builds on those natural relationships to create opportunities for conversations about meaning, faith, God, and the questions that do not always come up in ordinary conversation.
You do not need the right answers or a particular religious background. Search is about listening well, asking thoughtful questions, and giving people room to explore what they believe at their own pace.
If you are curious about Search in Kansas City, start with a conversation.
