God is clearly working at Sojourn East. The church has grown numerically and financially.
During our 2019 Easter service there were 39 baptisms across 3 services with an attendance
of 1900 people. An increase in giving has allowed for new full and part time staff positions
to be filled. Our Men’s and Women’s Bible studies meet weekly and have grown in numbers.
We are continuing to build bridges in the East End of Louisville in various ways including
mercy initiatives like Affordable Christmas and Medical Clinic as well as outreach events like
Trunk or Treat, Vacation Bible School and Summer Movie Nights. The establishment of a
Mother’s Day Out Program has also increased neighborhood connections. We have an active
Foster and Adoption team that connects families at Sojourn East who are touched by
Adoption and Foster Care as well as providing some financial assistance for those pursuing
adoption.
