We all have faith experiences and conversion stories. Some have many. We all love to hear stories, we grow when we share our stories, and we can help others grow through encountering Christ in our stories.
The intention is to capture short stories of our faith experiences in a variety of media (written, video, audio, ...) and publish them in multiple formats to assist and inspire others in their faith journey.

If you are feeling called to shared your faith and inspire others in this way, please read the information below and reach out to Deacon Paul. 

Self Documenting

• People can document their own stories in writing, video, or audio formats.
