Brown Trail recruits one of largest incoming classes

by J.J. Hendrix, Field Representative

They understand that we are in a shortage of sound preachers. Like the men before them, it is understood that sacrifices must be made for the good of the Lord’s church. Read more

by Kyle Massengale

PINSON, Ala.
