2025 KDW Spirit Fest
April 12 @ 9:00 am – 2:30 pm
The KDW Spirit Fest is back, and with some significant (but we believe positive) changes! First, we’re packing everything into one spirit-filled day in Newton, KS, April 12th 2025.
Second, we are inviting Kansas Disciples Men to join us! Workshops that are of interest to men are being added for this event during the morning, and then in the afternoon, our worship service will include a message from our keynote speaker, Major Owen Chandler.
If you attended the 2023 General Assembly in Louisville, Kentucky, Maj. Chandler gave the keynote address during the first evening gathering. Major Chandler is a Disciples minister and is currently stationed at Ft. Riley as Chaplain. Owen speaks candidly about the struggle to hold onto faith and hope amid the brutalities of war and the isolation of being deployed. His honest stories build bridges of compassion and care to those who serve our country. This is a keynote you won’t want to miss and we are grateful for Owen’s willingness to share with us.
