First Baptist Church presents, “The Journey of Environmental Stewardship”

As a minister’s kid, I grew up belonging to the amazing family at First Baptist Church. I’m excited to continue living the values I was taught there with a series of classes on Environmental Stewardship next month. This is part of FBC’s Earth Month celebration (April), and you’re invited!

"Journey" is a collaborative project, created by me and Kerry Stevens, which stems from Jesus’ basic teaching that we should all take really good care of eachother, teaching theology and actionable eco skills. (official info below) —
