Faith is meant to be shared. God calls us to pass the faith along to the next generation—teaching them God's truth, modeling faithfulness, and inspiring them to trust God for themselves. Our legacy is not just what we accomplish, but who we equip and encourage to follow Jesus. Come and join us as we hear about how we can pass our faith on to those behind us.
