What brought you to Sojourn?:
After spending most of my life in a church that taught musical instruments had no place in corporate church worship, my wife and I left after disagreeing with many other traditional stances the church took. We “shopped” around for new places to call home for many years until a friend recommended Sojourn. Our first visit two and a half years ago was eye opening and quite shocking based on our background and previous church experiences. But we were challenged to return until the Lord made it known to us that this was the place we were to join and to grow as Christians.
