The Backpack

Each week at Christ Community Church, we feature stories of what God's doing in the lives of the people who make up our church family - the story of how they came to faith in Jesus, the story of how God's currently growing them in grace, or even the story of how they're taking their faith outside and meeting needs in our community. The Stories From the Trail segment shares those stories with you. This week, CCC member Derek Brown shares his story of coming to know Jesus and finding God's grace sufficient for his life, even when growth in godliness wasn't a straight line - part of a miniseries of conversion stories we're calling Stories of Grace.
