Local Church Events for families You Can’t Miss in Kernersville


Looking for local church events near me in Kernersville? At Passion Church, we believe church is more than a Sunday service—it’s a community where people of all ages (even goofy ones) can grow, connect, and make a difference. That’s why throughout the year, we host events designed to help you build relationships and experience the love of Jesus in real ways.


Weekly Gatherings You’ll Love


  • Sunday Services (9:30 & 11:00 AM) – Two opportunities to worship with passionate music, practical teaching, Kids Church, and a youth small group Bible study during the second service.
  • Kids Church (both services) – A fun, safe place where children journey through the entire Bible every three years, learning God’s truth from start to finish.
  • Youth Small Group (11:00 AM) – Middle and high school students meet for Bible study and real-life discussions while adults are in service.
  • Small Groups for Adults – Whether weekly or monthly, small groups are a great way to build relationships and grow in faith. At Passion Church, groups meet at different times to fit your schedule:
  • Sunday afternoons or evenings
  • Monday evenings
  • Thursday nights
  • Monthly or bi-monthly on Friday nights or Saturday mornings


Special Events Throughout the Year

Passion Church is known for creating opportunities where the whole community can gather. Some highlights include:


  • Baptism Sundays – Every third Sunday of the month, we celebrate new life in Christ through water baptism.
  • Family Fun Days – Food, games, and activities designed to bring people together.
  • Holiday Services – Christmas and Easter services filled with hope, joy, and community.
  • Church Anniversary Celebration (August 25th) – Every year we celebrate what God has done in and through Passion Church with worship, fellowship, and joyful celebration.
  • Church Fellowship Meals – Throughout the year, we host regular gatherings for the church to share meals together, build community, and enjoy time as a church family.
  • Community Outreach Events – Service projects, food drives, and local partnerships where we share the love of Jesus beyond our walls.


A Safe and Welcoming Environment

At every event, safety and hospitality are top priorities. Our robust safety team—including a uniformed police officer on-site each Sunday—helps ensure peace of mind for families. Kids check-in is secure, with unique matching name tags for every parent and child, so your family is always cared for.


Come as You Are

Whether it’s a Sunday morning or a special event, there’s no dress code. At Passion Church, you’ll see everything from full suits to shorts and flip flops. Pastor Josh Tufte usually preaches in jeans and a t-shirt. The goal isn’t what you wear—it’s that you come ready to encounter Jesus and build meaningful relationships.

We love growing, meeting new people, serving together, adding new small groups, and seeing new faces at every event. We genuinely love people and want anyone who is interested to join us as we follow after Jesus Christ.

There are certain moments in the life of a church that feel significant—not because of a building or an address, but because of what those things represent. For Passion Church, this is one of those moments. We are excited to announce that Passion Church is moving to our new home at 4368 Stokesdale Avenue in Walkertown, North Carolina . Located near the intersection of Walkertown, Kernersville, and Winston-Salem, this property gives us an opportunity to continue growing, serving, and investing in the communities we love while establishing a permanent place to call home. If you've followed our story over the past few years, you know that Passion Church has never been about a building. From the beginning, our mission has been simple: helping people find and follow Jesus. That mission has guided every decision we've made, every ministry we've launched, every small group we've started, and every conversation we've had with people searching for hope and purpose. While our location is changing, that mission remains exactly the same. In many ways, this move represents a new chapter, but not a new direction. We are still the same church that believes the Bible is the authoritative Word of God. We still believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that His death and resurrection provide forgiveness of sins, and that He is the way to reconciliation with God. Those convictions have shaped who we are from day one, and they will continue to shape who we are in Walkertown and beyond. At the same time, we recognize that truth is most effective when it is shared through genuine relationships. One of the phrases you'll hear often at Passion Church is that we start with grace and lead to truth . We believe both are necessary. Grace creates space for people to be honest about where they are, while truth points them toward the hope and transformation found in Jesus. We don't see those ideas as competing with one another; we see them working together in the same way they did throughout the ministry of Christ. That philosophy affects how we approach ministry. While Sunday worship services are important, some of the most meaningful moments in our church happen around dinner tables, in living rooms, over coffee, and during everyday conversations. We believe life change happens in the context of relationships, which is why small groups, shared meals, community events, and serving opportunities are such an important part of who we are. We want to be more than a place people attend for an hour each week. We want to be a church family where people are known, encouraged, challenged, and supported through every season of life. As we prepare to move into Walkertown, one of the things we're most excited about is getting to know our new community. Every town has its own personality, history, strengths, and challenges. Our desire is not simply to occupy a building in Walkertown, but to become a meaningful part of the community. We look forward to building relationships with local families, schools, businesses, and organizations as we seek opportunities to serve and make a positive impact. We're also incredibly excited about what this move means for future generations. Passion Church places a high value on investing in children, students, and young families. We believe the local church should be one of the safest, most encouraging, and most life-giving environments a child can experience. Whether it's through Passion Kids, student ministry, family events, or simply creating spaces where young people can learn about Jesus and build healthy friendships, we are committed to helping the next generation develop a faith that lasts. For those who may be searching for a church home, we know that stepping into a church for the first time can feel intimidating. Maybe you've been away from church for years. Maybe you've had a difficult experience in the past. Maybe you're simply curious and trying to figure out what you believe. Wherever you find yourself, we want you to know that you're welcome here. You don't have to have everything figured out before you walk through the doors. As we look ahead to this new season, we're filled with gratitude for what God has already done and anticipation for what He will do next. We believe the best days of Passion Church are still ahead, not because of a new building, but because every new season creates new opportunities to help people encounter Jesus and experience the hope found in Him.  Walkertown, we're excited to be your neighbors. We can't wait to meet you, serve alongside you, and continue helping people find and follow Jesus for years to come. Passion Church 4368 Stokesdale Avenue Walkertown, NC 27051 Helping People Find and Follow Jesus.
