Our Story
Kingdom Life International Christian Center was founded on February 12, 1989, by Apostle Ashley & Marcia Estrada in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. What began with 25 people in a hotel conference room has grown into a thriving, global ministry, impacting lives through teaching, missions, and community outreach.
In 2005, the vision expanded to Central Florida, and what started as a step of faith has now become the main hub of Kingdom Life’s ministry efforts. Today, Kingdom Life Florida, led by Pastor Kenneth Estrada, is the driving force behind the expansion of the vision, reaching people locally, nationally, and globally.
Kingdom Life Florida:
A Thriving Ministry Hub
Kingdom Life Florida was incorporated in March 2005, launching its first location in the Orange Plaza Shopping Center in Orlando. After 2 ½ years, God directed Pastor Kenneth to relocate the church to Poinciana, FL, a decision made in faith and confirmed through prayer. Since March 2008, Kingdom Life has been deeply rooted in the Kissimmee area, growing into a thriving, multi-generational church and ministry hub.
Through worship experiences, discipleship programs, and outreach efforts, Kingdom Life Florida has impacted thousands—leading people to Christ, equipping leaders, and demonstrating God’s power through healings, miracles, and transformed lives. This location has not only become a beacon of faith in Central Florida but also serves as the primary launching pad for training, missions, and leadership development. From here, Kingdom Life continues to plant churches, send missionaries, and empower believers to influence their communities and the world.
Where We Are Now
At our core, we exist to be a diverse, multi-sited church, one that leads people into an authentic relationship with God by helping them discover their true identity in Christ. Across generations, we remain committed to Encountering God, Embracing People, and Empowering Believers.
What began as a small gathering in 1989 has now become a movement that is touching nations, transforming lives, and equipping believers for kingdom impact. And we know, the best is yet to come!
Kingdom Life Florida has evolved into a strong and influential church, extending its impact beyond its local community in Kissimmee to reach lives across the globe. Meanwhile, Kingdom Life St. Thomas continues to serve as a cornerstone of the ministry, influencing the Virgin Islands and beyond. Through missions, outreach initiatives, and leadership training, Kingdom Life equips believers to fulfill their divine callings, empowering them to make a global impact.
Today, Kingdom Life Florida is at the heart of the ministry’s global impact, leading the way in expanding the Kingdom of God.
