PASTORS BREAKFAST
We have had the joy of gathering with pastors and faith leaders for meaningful mornings of fellowship, conversation, and shared vision at our Pastors Breakfast.
As we break bread together, we reflect on the heart of Biblical hospitality—welcoming the stranger, serving our communities, and embodying Christ’s love in action.
Join us on May 8th at Edgewood Church as we continue this journey of faith and service together!
