On Sunday, January 5, 2025 we visited Renewed Life Community Church. We picked this church because the Pastor, Quinton Johnson, also works at our kids' school in Morton. We love visiting these smaller neighborhood churches!

The Peoria Area Baha'i Community was a place that was near the top of our "must visits" when we started this journey! Kate has a unique story about how she first came to know about the Baha'i Faith. We were warmly welcomed into this small group of passionate people.

Learn about Kate's Catholic background and the St. Mary's Cathedral in Peoria. With special guest, our daughter, Genevieve, we retell our visit to a beautiful building and a message about "being hungry" for peace, community, and joy in a modern world full of all shapes and sizes of comforts and connections.

This visit to the Ephraim Moravian Church was a solo visit for Katie while she was in Door County, Wisconsin. This visit turned into a 7 hour deep dive into the history of the Moravian Church and it was fascinating! For someone who always thought Martin Luther was the leader in the Protestant movement, I was so surprised at what I learned!

United Fellowship Ministries was a life changing church to visit! We found out about it because one of the residents of a rental we have goes there and loves it. And we love her! She had often talked about her church and what a special place it was and I had heard about her Pastor, Greg Washington, many times from her.

Although Kate had been in the church many times for her weekly Rotary Club of Peoria meetings, neither of us had been to a service at First United Methodist Church of Peoria. We had hoped to go to their Traditional Service but the heat was out in the chapel so they held it in their more contemporary space. We still had a lovely time and after our podcast, Pastor Tim Ozment was very gracious in sharing it and communicating more with us.

Neither of us had experienced someone talking in tongues. At least, not until our visit to North Parkway Assembly of God in Pekin, Illinois! This was quite an experience! If you've ever been curious about it, we hope you take a listen! Then, follow it by listening to the episode after where we interview the Pastors and dive deeper into their faith and practices.

One of our most memorable and unique visits has been to All Saints Greek Orthodox Church. We loved this place! So much richness of symbolism and rituals. We definitely want to return to experience it again!

The second church we visited in this faith exploration was First Federated Church of Peoria. It was still decorated beautifully for Christmas. We chose this church because it's centrally located and we have driven by it many times but had never been inside. We didn't know what a Federated Church was but found out after visiting!
