South Abbotsford Church Podcast
Every week, we gather as South Abbotsford Church. Someone always brings a message from the Word and unpacks how it applies in our lives. These messages are always meaningful and authentic expressions of the journey we're all on to follow Jesus. We trust the Spirit of God will continue to speak through them to you.
