Meet the planter
Most people call him Zeek.
Zeek is a Durham native and a teacher of the Word. He has spent fourteen years serving inside local churches, in youth ministry, media, church systems and leadership, and he holds a BA in Theology and a Master of Divinity.
He is planting Krino Church for people who want to hear God clearly and live it out with courage. He teaches Scripture plainly: this is what the text says, and here’s how we’re learning to live it.
The Krino Way
Krino comes from the Greek krinō: to discern, to decide. We help people follow Jesus and live it out with courage.
01
to follow Jesus.
The first line we cross. Not a feeling or a family tradition: a personal, public choice to follow Jesus.
Joshua 24:15
02
to live like Jesus.
A decision that keeps deciding. Daily obedience, formed by Scripture, prayer and community.
Philippians 3:14
03
set apart & seen.
Separated for holiness and consecration. Visible in witness and distinction.
1 Peter 2:9
Krino Local · Every 5th Sunday
Church isn’t a building. Every 5th Sunday, we take worship to the places Durham already gathers. Same worship. Same Word. Your neighbors, right where they are.
01
The barbershop.
Where Durham talks. We’ll worship between the chairs.
02
The café.
Coffee, community and an open Bible.
03
The thrift store.
Second chances, on the racks and in the room.

Sunday Dinner · Twice a month
Twice a month on Sunday evening, we partner with Durham chefs, restaurants and caterers to bring a hot dinner to neighbors living on the streets. We pack it, hand it out together and stay to talk.
Chefs, restaurants and caterers: prepare a Sunday Dinner. We handle pickup, packing and serving.
Pack meals, hand them out and share a conversation. No experience needed.
Cover the cost of a dinner so a local kitchen can cook for our neighbors.
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”
Matthew 25:35
Count me in
