Bible Way Church

The community around Bible Way Church

It takes 6.9 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church.

A scattered parish is still a parish.

Pray for the families driving a long way to everything — to work, to a hospital, to this door on a Sunday morning.
