Full Throttle owes a HUGE thank you to our new friend from Kensington Community Church! Rory is an amazing young man with a heart for Christ that far exceeds his years. He hung out with the full throttle crew for significant portion of our first ever safety inspection day to help out single moms in need. In the process of doing so, he shot some great video and created a video short that captures the essence of what KCC's Full Throttle missional small group is all about. Check it out!

Full Throttle's Open House & Commissioning

Full Throttle's open house and commissioning on Monday, September 12th was well-received by all in attendance. More than 30 people were on-hand to tour our new shop, learn about our vision and goals, and speak with the leaders and members of Full Throttle to learn about what we are gearing up to do. We also had Kensington Community Church - Birmingham Campus lead pastor, Clint Dupin on-hand to commission our new shop and lead us in prayer.

We will be busy in the coming months with safety inspections, Bible studies, classic car restoration projects and ample opportunities to serve His Kingdom as the hands and feet of Christ.


We had a great turnout for our open house!

Join Us For An Open House!

This coming Monday (12-Sep-2011), Full Throttle will  host an open house.  It’s open to all of Full Throttle's friends and family.  Whether you haven’t come in a while, you've recently renewed your ties with us, or simply wish to discover what we're all about, please stop by to check out our new digs! We have the shop primped and primed for our guests (we even cleaned and polished the bathrooms with the fairer sex in mind) and we'll have munchies and refreshments on-hand for all to enjoy. Please contact us at FullThrottle@kensingtonchurch.org to get directions and/or more information

Our upcoming restoration/raffle project, a 1956 Oldsmobile Holiday, will also be on display and we would be thrilled to discuss our multi-faceted approach to serving God's Kingdom!

As the "icing on the cake," Kensington Community Church's - Birmingham Campus lead pastor, Clint Dupin, will be on-hand to lead us in prayer and "commission" our new shop. How exciting!

Here are some photo's of our finished shop and some teasers for two of our primary missions:

Our new "work" area, complete with a hoist, compressed air, and the tools necessary to serve those in need.
