What Happened to Spiritual Friendship?

Friendship With God

The Core Issue

Topics: Identity in Christ, Love

"My almost-three-year-old asks every day if we can go to church. Thank you, Woodland Hills, and all the Heroes Gate volunteers for creating such a great environment for kids. My husband and I met at WH six years ago and now our son counts down the days until we get to go again. My heart could burst."
