Kimberly & Jeremy Powers Partners In Kingdom Dough , established 2020 : Making donuts , apple fritters , croissants and kolaches .

How It Started Kimberly : It has always been a dream of ours to have our own business . We watched our space become available many times , and we finally took a leap of faith in 2020 , in the midst of the pandemic .
How It ’ s Going
Kimberly : We laugh , we sing and we engage with our customers and make the best out of each day . Even on bad days we still tell God , “ Thank you !” We appreciate every morning we are able to open the shop because it ’ s another day of purpose and God ’ s promise .

Making It Work
Kimberly : Prayer is the glue needed to hold things together when you ’ re working together with your spouse daily .
Jeremy : We understand that this is how we make our living and that we have to put all issues aside to take care of our customers and our family . Just as we would on an 8-5 job , we never take our personal problems to work .
Success & Satisfaction
Kimberly : The flexibility and not having a boss is rewarding ; we are able to attend functions with our kids , plus ministry and community events that we would not be able to with an 8-5 job . Also , we get to have lunch together every day .
