Kingdom Bible Fellowship, Inc. (kbf), the parent organization of the Kingdom Bible Christian Church (kbcc), was founded by Brother William R. Porter and Reverend LeQuita H. Porter, Master of Divinity, a minister licensed, ordained and endorsed by God, and the Reverend Dr. J. Michael Sanders and her "home church" the Fountain Baptist Church of Summit, New Jersey. God placed a passion in LeQuita’s heart for the people of God to study the scriptures – i.e., to actually read the bible, for a better understanding of all God has directed and ordained his people to do. The ministry began in February, 2004 with monthly bible study in the home of the Porters. William and LeQuita Porter On November 4, 2004, KBF expanded to biweekly bible study meetings in a donated location in the Tampa/Temple Terrace area of Florida. With the expansion, more faithful members came, and contributed greatly to the church's early life and organization. Regular attendance began to grow with up to 15 attending bible studies in the first year. God continues to send many gifted persons who now serve in the ministry, including Bill and LeQuita's two children, Brian Robert and Nia Michelle! Brian and Nia Porter (Just a few years ago!) KBF now meets on a weekly basis for worship, bible study and fellowship! Our worship services have been truly AWESOME!! God is raising up singers, prayer warriors, administrators, mentors for our younger brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers of the faith!! Our family is truly being knit together according to God's divine plan! KBF has made missions a priority for the ministry. KBF has engaged in domestic and international missions work since the very beginning, with donations given to CHOAIDS, Inc, Caring for Haitian Orphans with AIDS, headed by Marie Denis of Tampa, Florida, as well as missions support to Jamaica, under the leadership of Pastor Glenroy Lalor in the Port Maria Circuit of Baptist Churches.. KBF also contributes to a local mission managed by Complete Praise Outreach Ministries, Carlton Burgess, who faithfully feeds lunches to more than 100 people weekly! KBF has engaged in a feeding program, clothing drives, book drives, and much, and continues to utilize opportunities to give. . .as God has given to us. KBF is forming a support ministry for people living with HIV/AIDS, as well as conducting workshops on Transforming Pain Into Power, a support series developed by Rev. Porter in 1992, which addresses overcoming issues of abuse, neglect, grief and other sources of pain. KBF has successfully held Seasons of Sacrifice over the past three (3) years, in which its members engage in a 40-day fast during the annual Lenten season for personal spiritual growth and ministry growth. God has truly blessed! KBF was blessed to hold its first VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL with the children attending the Burgess Summer Music Camp in June, 2005! A wonderful time was had by all and in the years to follow -- KBF is specifically devoted to children and our elderly. We enjoyed learning more about Prayer with our kids and how to get fit with Jesus! Kingdom Bible Christian Church held its first official "birthing" service on Christmas Day 2005!! It was an awesome time in the Lord and God is adding to the number and providing all the resources we need to go on in Jesus' name. Our first services were held on 2nd Sundays at the Hilton Garden Inn in Brandon (Tampa) Florida from August - December 2005. We now meet weekly for worship at that same location, and have formed many impactful ministries -- including a Rites of Passage program for boys and girls, a Fitness Ministry, a Ministry of Music and a Sunday Church School Ministry for adults and youth In 2007, Kingdom Bible will hold it's first Health & Wellness Forum where area professionals and spiritual advisors will meet to discuss our bodies as the temple of God! Years 2006 and 2007 were banner years for the full unveiling of the KBF ministry. And God continues to bless and provide! Kingdom Bible has received the blessing of the Lord since its inception! Please include us in your prayers that God continues to lead and guide us and that we authentically go forth with character and integrity -- learning, loving, serving, and growing . . .for the Kingdom of God! KBF is committed to ensuring that all of its members are engaged in service for full utilization of their God-given gifts. To that end, KBF, is engaging in spiritual gift assessments of its members to assist in assigning each member to an appropriate place of service in the community.
