TESTIMONY: John Monroe
I have always believed in God. I was raised by amazing parents, and have been going to church ever since I was born. However, I have definitely been off track in my life. I was heavily involved in the party scene, drinking, and drugs, but God’s grace is AMAZING! A little while ago, my friend invited me to a worship night at her church, and I was overcome by the Holy Spirit. I had never in my life felt the presence of God like this before.
A few months later, I was invited to Legacy Church and discovered that it was the same type of atmosphere - one filled with the Holy Spirit! I knew that Legacy was where God had called me to be. Since coming to Legacy Church, I have never been more filled with hope, joy, and happiness. The more I learn and grow through church and Crews the stronger my faith has become! I am now striving towards being the best I can be, and giving my life to the one who created me. For if it was not for Him we would not even exist!
As a church we do not believe in doing life alone. We want to pray with you.
