We would love for anyone who is not currently in a Home Church to consider to prioritizing, on a weekly basis, this time with fellow believers. We are finalizing the details on the new groups and who is leading them for our big reveal on July 25. However, if you want to hear about them the week before, go to fellowshipconway.org/homechurch and sign-up.
