We all have questions about our faith the world we live in. This summer, Pastor Phil Winfield will look at 10 different questions in a series he is calling, "If I Could Ask God Anything…" By surveying our church congregation, we narrowed a lengthy list of questions down to the top 10 questions men and women have about their faith and how our faith relates to the world around us. Each Wednesday night, Pastor Phil will tackle a new question. At the end of the summer, you will be better equipped to answer the tough questions your friends and family members may ask as they search for real spiritual truth. "If I Could Ask God Anything …." Ten questions in 10 weeks. Get ready to engage the world around you!
