Kainos Church + Harvest Campus Ministry
A heart for tennessee tech
Kainos Church in Cookeville, Tennessee, is a Spirit-filled, Bible-based community with a heart for Tennessee Tech University (TTU) and those seeking a deeper connection with Jesus Christ. Founded in 2015 by Pastor Rob Owens, who also serves as an administrator at TTU, Kainos is a multi-generational, multi-ethnic, and multi-cultural fellowship committed to experiencing and expanding God's diverse Kingdom. The church actively engages students and community members through various ministries, including men's and women's college groups, community outreach, and missions support. Located at the Peachtree Learning Center, Kainos invites all to join their 10:00 AM Sunday services, either in-person or via YouTube livestream, to find identity, serve God, love people, and change the world.
the harvest
The Harvest at Kainos Church is focused on the spiritual growth and transformation of college students and young adults in the Cookeville community. We believe this generation is ripe for revival, and our desire is to cultivate a space where they can encounter Jesus, grow in their faith, and live out their purpose with courage and conviction. Through intentional discipleship, authentic fellowship, and real-life mentoring, The Harvest creates a diverse, welcoming environment where students and young adults can thrive spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. Whether you're attending Tennessee Tech or building your future in Cookeville, we invite you to be part of a movement that's raising up leaders, deepening roots in God's Word, and sending out bold witnesses for Christ.
a hub of spiritual life
Tennessee Tech University has been a hub of spiritual life for people from all walks of life. Students come from all over the region to pursue higher education and find their calling. The Lord continues to be present in this place!

prayer
Kainos is a thriving local church strategically positioned near a TTU to reach and disciple college students in the context of a loving, multigenerational family of faith. These students aren’t just part of a ministry—they’re part of the church, growing in Christ and living on mission during the most pivotal years of their lives. We believe the campus is one of the most fertile mission fields in the world, and we’re seeing God transform lives every week. Please join us in praying for this church to stay strong, bear fruit, and raise up a new generation of kingdom leaders.
