My Story of Questioning Christianity, Pastor Chris Sommer
We are all encouraged to share our faith story with others, so this week Pastor Chris is sharing his story of questioning Christianity. Although his journey led him to a vocation as a pastor, his story is probably not all that different from yours. Many of the same questions and doubts you have are likely the same things that he had to resolve for himself (and continues to wrestle with daily).

http://faithstl.org/prayer-request/WAYS TO GIVE
We believe God wants to position Faith to be a generous body of believers able to invest in missional ministry where we live, work, play and beyond; wherever God leads us to bless those who need the Gospel. Faith members and regular attenders are on a journey to discover what it means to move from being blessed to blessing others. We give with gratitude in response to God’s grace and sacrificial love in Jesus, who already has met our deepest needs. He works through the sacrifice and generosity of His people to meet the needs of others and to fuel the mission of His church to make disciples.
