Sermon Series: Ephesians 3:14-21

Life@Downtown Sermon SeriesToday Pastor Phil continues his message series, Life@Downtown. Life in a community of faith is marked by shared commitments and values that unite our hearts in service and on mission. In this new season of ministry and mission at DBC, we are exploring a key passage (Ephesians 3:14-21) and affirming the values we share as a community of faith that we seek to share in Old Town and beyond.
