Hugging Our City
Recently, our church was profiled in Outreach Magazine regarding an outreach we’ve been doing in our community for the last several years.

Miracle Through the Fire
By Tommy Hudson Several years ago, a good friend of mine sensed a passion in my heart that I had not yet discovered myself. He didn’t come right out and say it, but began to feed me with books that would help me come to a deep understanding of where God was calling me.
