Reconstructing Faith Equip forum | November 5
Learn how to ask questions, explore doubt, and cultivate tools to think about your faith. If you find yourself going through this process, or you know people who are, we want to invite you to join us and guest speaker Barnabas Piper on Saturday morning as we learn how we can ask these questions without losing our faith in Jesus, the scriptures, and the church. The cost to attend this event is $5.

Welcome to Mercy Equip
