Konnoak Hills


     Konnoak Hills Moravian Church was established in 1950 to serve the fledgling suburb south of Winston-Salem known as Konnoak Hills.  Today our church is closer to the heart of the city as Winston-Salem expands toward the borders of Forsyth County. 


     While our location is very different from its semi-rural past, many values of that earlier day remain unchanged. Personal relationships, a concern for neighbors in need, and an open door of welcome continue to be an important part of who we are. 


      While a good number of our members still live in the immediate neighborhood, today we consider our parish to be five counties wide as members travel from Davidson, Davie, Iredell, and Yadkin Counties to participate in the life of the congregation.   


     Our identity is best expressed in the words of our mission statement, Called by Christ to be a Neighbor.  Inspired by His Love to Serve All Ages. 


    Jesus taught that greater life is ours when we reach out to our neighbors in self-giving love. We remember his story of the Good Samaritan and our calling to be instruments of grace in a broken and bruised world.


     We also remember how Jesus touched people in every stage of life; opening his arms to children, calling the young to discipleship, educating adults in the ways of God’s kingdom, comforting the afflicted, upholding the widowed, and blessing the dying.  We count ourselves as his disciples and likewise strive to minister to people in every stage of life.

 

    Each Sunday we gather to worship at 10:00 a.m.  Our traditional worship has been described as having a “dignified informality” that many appreciate. 


     In worship we listen for God through the reading of scripture, the proclamation of the Word, the sharing of responsive readings, the silence of prayer, and the singing of hymns and anthems.  The Holy Communion is celebrated on eight occasions throughout the year.
