About

About 7,000 Knees

We help people experience victory and life to the full with Christ.

Friends studying the Bible together

Who we are

Whether you’re wondering if God exists, have believed for years without growing, or feel stuck and discouraged, our courses, videos, and mentors meet you where you are.

We are not a church; every course leads you to one, because that is where the new life grows.

Why the name

When the prophet Elijah felt he was the only faithful one left, God told him:

“I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
Romans 11:4–5

Wherever you are, you are not alone.

What we believe

  • The Bible is the full and complete Word of God.
  • Jesus Christ is the only Savior and Lord.
  • We hold to the core truths of the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed.
  • The Holy Spirit is still at work today, using God’s Word to change hearts from the inside out.

Who stands with us

7,000 Knees works with established church partners, which support our projects and receive and receipt gifts for them.
