Sojourn Community Church, “in the city, for the city.”
We recently saw this video on church in Louisville, Kentucky. It's amazing to see a new generation of leaders that are stepping out in faith and "going into the sores of life."

It's an amazing space a a whole different way to think about church. As we are finding in many churches today, the church has a lot to offer artist and non-profits when they take the time to have a conversation about working together. ...
