Todd Jordan
Greetings: 

 

 

When Christians went out into the world they were greeted with everything from excitement to indifference to outright persecution. Yet somehow this small, seemingly insignificant spiritual movement grew into the official state religion of the Roman Empire. How were they so successful, and what lessons might we learn from them for engaging our world today? Join me this Sunday as we conclude our series on Turkey Talk by exploring The Christian Impact.

   

 

 

                       Dr. Todd Jordan,

                       Senior Pastor
