Available Church: Karnes City

Karnes City lies about 60 miles southeast of San Antonio and has a population of 3,045. It is surrounded by farmlands and ranches, embodying a small-town, close-knit atmosphere where traditions and personal relationships are highly valued. The community’s lifestyle is centered around family, promoting a slower and more peaceful pace that emphasizes deep, supportive connections. Karnes City, being adjacent to Kenedy, shares a similar rural and family-oriented culture, with both towns collectively contributing to the identity of Karnes County. This rural area with a population of approximately 15,000 is without a church. The two main towns, Karnes City and Kenedy are adjacent to each other, offering a unique setting for someone seeking to make a spiritual impact on this community.

The entirety of Karnes County is waiting for the right pastor—a leader who can focus on family support, build community engagement, and bring together the traditional roots with the changing dynamics of the area. This is a community ready to be united under the guidance of a dedicated spiritual leader, someone who can bring light and hope to a county in need of a church to call its own. Karnes County is truly waiting on the right man of God!
