Faithful Journey
10:15 AM | RM. K-102 | Gordon Wetmore
The Faithful Journey ABSF is a community with a warm and loving fellowship. Transparency is key to our class dynamic with a welcoming prayer and praise time followed by a time of continued conversation based on Pastor’s sermon. We’ve heard the Word, and now …. “so what!”…. How do we practically apply those truths to our lives!? From the fellowship time, to the prayer and praise, to the class discussion: We share life. We cry together. We laugh together. We journey together. We believe the truths of Proverbs 27:17; “iron sharpens iron” and put that to the test. Class socials are limited, but deep connections are realized and lived out in a community of friends. Open to singles and couples. Ages ranging from 30’s to 70’s.
