Sharing stories of life change is one way we testify to God’s faithfulness in our lives, connect with one another, and strengthen the unity of the church. This past weekend, David St. John from our Greer campus shared how God is growing him through serving with one of our local outreach partners, Griggs Church. We are so grateful for how God is working in and through David, and for his willingness to share his story of life change with us.
