As Kingdom Fighters, we are not just a band, but a community. We are a collective group of dedicated Christians who share the same fighting mindset. Our mission is to do exactly as our name describes, and that is to fight for the Kingdom of God. Ephesians 6:11 tells us to put on the full armor of God. We live in this and we fight with the talents God blessed us with. We all do our part in the Kingdom Fighter community, not to elevate ourselves, but solely to glorify God, share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and invite His people back to Him or to start a relationship with Him.
