About Us
OUR PASTORS - Lane & Jennifer Hastie
For most of the last three decades, Pastor Lane has found himself doing something he never imagined he'd be doing. Now, he can't imagine himself doing anything else. As a student at Evangel University in Springfield, MO, he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration, majoring in Management, minoring in Marketing, and having a concentration in Biblical Studies. He had dreams and plans of working with a professional sport's franchise. God had other plans. The Lord began to use the experiences of Lane's life, in his local church, his upbringing, missions trips, and some defining moments to direct his steps along a different path. Since then, he has never looked back. Today, Lane finds himself a 4th generation Assemblies of God minister.
Lane is married to his best friend, Jennifer. Their being together is nothing less than a miracle. God has blessed them with three children; Parker who is a senior at Evangel University; Taylor who is a freshman at Evangel University; and Bailey who is a Junior at Kaufman High School.
The Hastie family has been honored to serve the Lord in settings they could have never imagined. Be it the gang neighborhoods of Pomona, CA, the hills of the Ozarks in Arkansas, and today in Kaufman, TX.
After 27 years of ministry, they still believe: one encounter with Jesus can change everything, love makes all the difference, every person matters, it's not about them, and faithfulness is success in God's eyes.
Children's Ministry Leader - Julie McDougal
Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6
Children are not only tomorrow's church but a valuable part of the church right now!
At Kaufman First A/G we believe in teaching the Bible through music, games, puppets, and object lessons. Using dedicated classes for ages 3 - 5 & 6 - 11 we can reach children on their level and meet their individual needs. In addition to weekly classes, we also have exciting events like Easter egg hunts & VBS.
Christian Education Leaders - TJ & Shelly Taylor-Sawyer
Christian Education is developed around the core idea that "The evangelism process is not complete until the evangelized become the evangelist." To achieve this we strive here at Kaufman First A/G to teach and equip all ages of people giving them the rock solid faith it takes to go forth and accomplish the Great Commission. We have dynamic children's programs where the learning environment is such that each child will never leave their class without having grown in Christ. There are several Adult Sunday School classes to choose from. This allows you to choose the one that best relates to you. Overall, we take Christian Education seriously. Without growth in our discipleship with Christ we can never effectively live for Christ.

Deeper Book Club
Deeper Book Club is a great way for us to go "deeper" in our walk with Christ. Once a quarter we choose a book to read and then we come together in an informal setting to have a good time as we discuss the book. If you have any questions, contact the church office at (972) 962-6574
Our next selection is Known by Dick and Ruth Foth.
The Digital Age is all about change, but the need for true friendship never changes. You are designed for real engagement with others---for affirmation that goes beyond a simple “like” on social media, for connection over meals, for hope and excitement about the future. Above all, you need to be known and accepted for who you are. But how do you find and maintain this kind of friendship in a fluid and frenetic culture?
In Known, Dick and Ruth Foth offer inspiration and proven practices to build relationships through personal storytelling and affirmation. They draw on years of mentoring, rich relationships, and the model of Jesus to show you why friendship is one of the keys to a full life and the greatest gift we can give to each other.
We will be meeting on July 24th at 6:30 PM in the Fellowship Hall to discuss the book.
CONTRIBUTIONS
"Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full -- pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back."
Luke 6:38
