Dreaming Outside the Box - Creating the 301 Faith Partners
Read this beautifully written article of the journey to become the 301 Faith Partners from the eyes of our Episcopal partners. Rhoda Roberson and Laurie Gudim share their perspective of finding a home and envisioning what this entity, called 301 Faith Partners, would look like.
How did we make a covenant to love, to share, and to seek God’s will together, while still retaining our own identity?
Together as the 301 Faith Partners, we will better seek and serve God. We found new ways to build church. Click here to read the article. Article on page 2.
