First Christian Church, Farmville, NC, and Liberation Christian Church, St. Louis, MO, Join Open & Affirming Ministry Program

The First Christian Church of Farmville, NC, and Liberation Christian Church, St. Louis, MO, recently joined GLAD’s Open & Affirming Ministry program.

Pastor Rev. Dr. Jarrett Banks from First Christian Church shares with us that “this church looks a lot more like Jesus than anything I’ve ever seen before.”

In a part of the country with few welcoming congregations, many people hungry for welcome have been discovering First Christian Church of Farmville, several driving more than an hour to attend church in Farmville.
