The Appointments
of the Lord.
These are not religious observances or ethnic traditions. They are God's appointed times — moments He set apart to meet with His people and to reveal His redemptive plan. We celebrate them as treasures.
God's calendar,
not ours.
Most of the world lives according to the culture's calendar — holidays defined by commerce, seasons defined by school terms. Kingdom Church has chosen to live according to a different rhythm: the rhythm God wrote into creation itself.
The Appointments of the Lord (*mo'edim* — Hebrew for "appointed times" or "fixed meetings") are found in Leviticus 23 and woven through the whole of Scripture. They are not merely Jewish observances. They are God's own calendar — set apart for all His people, fulfilled in Jesus, and still forming His community today.
Every feast tells the story of what God has done and what He will do. Every feast is a rehearsal of redemption. Every feast is an invitation to encounter the living God at a time He has set aside to meet with us.
"These are the appointed feasts of the Lord, the holy convocations, which you shall proclaim at the time appointed for them."
Leviticus 23:4
Every feast points to God's redemptive timeline — past fulfillments in Jesus's first coming, and future fulfillments still to come at His return. They teach us to read history and the future through God's eyes.
The rhythm of the feasts shapes us in ways that weekly gatherings alone cannot. Celebrating together, year after year, we are formed into a people who live in God's time — not merely the world's urgency.
The feasts are not solemn obligations — they are joyful celebrations. God commands His people to rejoice. The Appointments are times of worship, feasting, family, and encounter with the living God.
Sabbath
Shabbat
The Sabbath is the foundation of all the Appointments of the Lord — the weekly rhythm that God built into creation itself. On the seventh day, God rested. In that rest He declared: this day is holy. He set it apart as a sign between Himself and His people, a weekly act of trust that says He is Lord and we are not.
We gather every Saturday not out of religious duty but because we need this rhythm. In a culture that never stops, the Sabbath is an act of defiance and delight — a refusal to live as though the world depends on our striving, and a declaration that it depends entirely on Him.
The Autumn
Feasts
Four appointments in the first half of the year — pointing to the first coming of Jesus and the giving of the Holy Spirit. All four were fulfilled by Jesus in remarkable, precise detail.

We remember the night God delivered His people from slavery in Egypt — the blood of the lamb on the doorposts, the death that passed over those who trusted in God's provision. Passover is the foundational act of redemption in the whole of Scripture. It is where the whole story begins.

1 – 8 Apr · 6:30 PM
For seven days following Passover, we remove leaven from our homes — a physical act that speaks of putting away sin and living in the purity that Jesus bought for us. We observe the first and seventh days as special holy convocations. The seventh day is one of our annual immersion days — a powerful public declaration of a life given to Jesus.

2 – 3 Apr · 6:30 PM
Firstfruits is the celebration of the first harvest — an act of faith that says the whole harvest belongs to God and more is coming. It falls on the day after the Sabbath during Unleavened Bread. It is the feast of new beginnings, of life emerging from death, of God's faithfulness breaking through.

21 May · 6:30 PM
Fifty days after Firstfruits, Pentecost arrives. It celebrates two momentous events: the giving of the Torah at Sinai, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Jerusalem (Acts 2). God wrote His law on stone at Sinai; at Pentecost He pledged to begin writing it on human hearts. We gather with special emphasis on the Spirit — with prophecy, healing, and encounter at the centre.
The Spring
Feasts
Four appointments in the second half of the year — pointing to the second coming of Jesus, the final atonement, and the eternal Kingdom. These feasts are yet to be fully fulfilled. They are our holy expectation.

The shofar is blown over the city. Roar is a day of awakening, preparation, and holy expectation — a call to repentance before the Day of Atonement and a declaration that the King is coming. The blast of the shofar pierces something in the spirit that cannot be explained, only experienced. This is the sound of a people who are ready.
Spring · 2026
21 Sep · 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM
The most solemn day of the year. We fast and stand before God in repentance and covenant renewal — not in fear, but in the deep confidence that we stand before God in the mercy of Jesus our atoning King. Fasting is encouraged but not required. The gathering itself is marked by intercession, confession, and the profound stillness of a people held by grace.

The day after Kingdom Festival — God's "one more day." Shemini Atzeret is not another feast; it is an intimate gathering, a lingering. After the joy of Tabernacles, God asks His people to stay a little longer. Praise is the afterparty of the year: pure worship, deep joy, and the closeness of a community that has walked through the whole feast season together.
Kingdom
Festival
Not just a conference. A movement convergence — five days of worship, formation, commissioning, and the joy of the Feast of Tabernacles. Kingdom Festival is our annual gathering where families, disciples, and leaders come together under one roof, around one table, before one King.
Tabernacles celebrates God's provision and presence through the wilderness, and anticipates the day when God will dwell — tabernacle — with His people forever. We build temporary shelters. We feast together. We worship at full volume. We are commissioned and sent. This is the feast the whole earth will one day keep.
We begin now.
These feasts are
for everyone.
Jew and Gentile alike are fully invited and fully included in the Appointments of the Lord. These are God's feasts — for all His people. Come and discover what you have been missing.
