The Journey Initiative...
...is a weekend workshop hosted by Wilmont Place Baptist Church to encourage Baptist church leaders and members to develop and grow in a discipleship pathway. The journey of discipleship carries the Christian from salvation throughout life and is intended to make us more like Jesus as we walk closer to Him.
