I've read in the news that since your recent move your family has been looking for a church home.

“First and foremost, through diligent prayer, seek divine direction for a church that teaches the Bible; has a strong community outreach ministry; a teaching that is a broad-based ministry and affirms all of God's children.”

– Rev. Clifford Jones Sr., Friendship Missionary Baptist.
