Kingdom Social began with a mission to rethink church and return to the essence of leading, gathering, and living the way Christ and the early church intended. We believe that Christ changes lives, and that His church can be the most powerful influence of love and change on the planet. We are on a continual pursuit of becoming who God originally intended us and the church to be. We pursue a biblical, simple, and powerful early church model of church. Take your first step into our community by joining a House Church gathering.
Christopher, a native of Covington, Louisiana, and his wife Mallory, who is from Chalmette, Louisiana, were married in August of 2020. Together, they have dedicated their lives to discipleship and ministry. Their daughter, Elleanna Grace, was born in May of 2021 and carries the love for others just like her parents.
Mallory is especially passionate about discipling women and helping them thrive in their relationship with Christ. With her warm, welcoming nature, Mallory never meets a stranger. She is gifted in encouragement and hospitality, using these talents to uplift those around her.
Christopher’s personal mission is to be a "Shepherd of Hearts," feeding, guiding, and protecting through the teaching of the Word of God and life-on-life relationships. He believes that every person should experience having a shepherd, someone to come alongside and help them on their spiritual growth journey. He envisions a world where Kingdom-minded individuals, couples, and families are equipped with the tools and support they need to shine the light of Christ in everyday life.
In 2021, God began giving them the vision for a Church of House Churches, which led to the birth of Kingdom Social. The vision of Kingdom Social is to glorify God by cultivating a church of house churches—diverse, disciple-making communities committed to equipping the body of Christ for the work of ministry.
Whether guiding others through challenges or helping them grow in love, Christopher and Mallory have a deep commitment to building meaningful, lasting relationships for the purpose of glorifying Christ.

We believe there is only one God, who exists eternally as a Trinity of three persons: Father, Son, and Spirit. Each member of the Trinity is fully and equally God, yet personally distinct from one another. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
We believe that God in the flesh, Jesus Christ, was crucified and died on the cross, was resurrected from
the dead, and ascended to Heaven. (John 1:14; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Acts 1:9–11)
We believe the Holy Spirit of God comes to live within a person once they trust in Jesus as their Savior. The Holy Spirit indwells all believers to lead and empower life and relationship with God, to secure salvation, and to give gifts that build the church and spread the gospel. (John 14:16–17; Romans 8:9–11; 1 Corinthians 12:4–7)
We believe God created men and women in His image to live forever. We will either exist eternally in community with God in Heaven through Jesus or exist eternally separated from God in Hell by rejecting Jesus. (Genesis 1:27; John 3:16–18; Matthew 25:46)
We believe God created men and women to live in relationship with Him. But the first humans chose to rebel against God and brought sin into the world. Sin spread like a virus to all humans, and all have sinned, and that sin separated us from God. (Genesis 3:1–7; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12)
We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ consisting of believers worldwide, and that God has called believers to gather in local churches. (1 Corinthians 12:12–14; Ephesians 4:11–13; Hebrews 10:24–25)
We believe that the Bible is God’s Word to us, written by men who were inspired by God. God wrote His Scriptures to reveal Himself to mankind, to communicate with us, and to direct us in His best way to live life. (2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Psalm 119:105)
We believe that Christ will return to earth to conclude history and restore God’s plan for mankind. (John 14:1–3; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Revelation 21:1–4)
We believe that God so loved the world, and by His grace delights and desires to grant forgiveness and eternal life to all who trust in Christ as their Savior. Jesus died on the cross as a perfect substitute for our penalty of sin and was resurrected to overcome death. It is only through faith in Jesus Christ—not by being good enough or doing enough good—that a person can be restored to a right relationship with God. (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21)
We believe that marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God, joining one man and one woman in a lifelong, faithful union. Marriage reflects the relationship between Christ and His Church and provides the foundation for family, discipleship, and human flourishing. We believe that sexual intimacy is a gift from God to be expressed only within the covenant of marriage. Outside of this covenant, sexual activity falls short of God’s design and leads to brokenness. As a church, we uphold God’s design for marriage, affirming it as a picture of the gospel — a relationship marked by love, sacrifice, and covenant faithfulness.
We are a spiritual family that lives out the mission of Jesus together — not just on Sundays, but every day.
(Acts 2:42–47; Romans 12:13)
We keep it simple and biblical, valuing honesty and transformation over perfection.
(2 Timothy 3:16–17; James 5:16)
We depend on the Holy Spirit to guide, equip, and send us. Prayer is our first move, and every believer has a role to play.
(Galatians 5:25; 1 Corinthians 12:4–)7
We grow and send disciple-making house churches that multiply until every neighborhood has a gospel presence.
(Matthew 28:19–20; Acts 1:8)
A house church is more than a Bible study or small group — it is a true expression of the Body of Christ. It is a spiritual family of disciples who gather in homes to worship, pray, share life, and live on mission together (Acts 2:42–47).
Gospel-Centered – Rooted in Jesus and His mission
Family-Oriented – A diverse spiritual family across generations and backgrounds
Spirit-Led – Every believer is gifted and equipped to serve
On Mission – Making disciples and multiplying as God leads
Elder Led - We entrust the care of our house churches to biblically qualified elders, who shepherd, guide, and guard the flock under the authority of Christ and the leadership of the Holy Spirit (Acts 20:28; 1 Peter 5:1–3; Titus 1:5; Hebrews 13:17).
In short: a house church is a local, relational, Spirit-filled expression of God’s Church, connected to the global Body of Christ and committed to making disciples that make disciples.
At Kingdom Social, we believe a house church is a church — not just a group. It is a biblically-rooted, Spirit-led community of disciples who gather in homes to glorify God, grow in faith, and live on mission together (Acts 2:42–47).
Every true house church carries out these essential practices:
Discipleship – Intentional spiritual growth, helping one another become fully devoted followers of Jesus (Matthew 28:19–20; Colossians 1:28)
Evangelism – Living on mission to share the gospel with neighbors, cities, and nations (Acts 1:8; Romans 10:14–15)
Meeting Needs – Caring for one another and responding to physical, spiritual, and emotional needs (Acts 4:32–35; Galatians 6:2)
Benevolence – Taking responsibility to serve others inside and outside the church family (Luke 10:25–37; Matthew 25:35–36)
Worship & Prayer – Gathering to celebrate the greatness of God together (Colossians 3:16; Acts 2:42)
Teaching – Submitting to the Word of God under the guidance of faithful, gifted leaders (2 Timothy 3:16–17; Titus 1:9)
Regular Gathering – Meeting consistently in homes and corporately with other believers (Hebrews 10:24–25; Acts 2:46)
Sacraments – Practicing communion and baptism as Jesus commanded (Luke 22:19–20; Romans 6:3–4)
Accountability – Correcting, encouraging, and calling one another to repentance and faithfulness (Galatians 6:1; Matthew 18:15–17)
Always Open – Welcoming new people as God adds to the family, multiplying when needed (Acts 2:47; 2 Timothy 2:2)
Geographically Based – Cultivating community with neighbors (Titus 1:5)
Children Included – Families worship and grow together (1 Timothy 3:4)
Prayer-Centered – Epicenters of prayer for one another, the city, and the world (Acts 1:14)
Family-Oriented – More than friends; a spiritual family (1 Corinthians 1:10)
Generational Diversity – Older and younger believers learning together (Titus 2:3–5)
Socio-Economic Diversity – Rich and poor united in Christ (1 Corinthians 11:22)
Spiritual Maturity Diversity – Mature believers equipping the growing (Ephesians 4:13)
Ethnic Diversity – One in Christ across cultures (Galatians 3:29)
Spiritual-Gift Diversity – Every member contributing gifts (1 Corinthians 12:19–20)
House churches exist to glorify God by making disciples who make disciples. Each one is a diverse, multiplying family that seeks the good of the city and the spread of the gospel — locally and globally (Matthew 28:19–20; Acts 13:2–3).
