Issues Facing The Church

As Christians, we have to navigate many complex issues, but there isn’t usually enough time on Sundays to have a good discussion about them. This group will be a place where we can begin to talk these things through. We probably won’t come away with perfect answers, but we can learn how to have better conversations about them.
