- Religion & Spirituality
Church Folx is a podcast where we talk to members of the community of Birmingham and Berkley First UMC about who they are and what God is doing in their lives. Throughout the bible, people are encouraged to bear witness to what they have seen and heard. Continuing in that tradition, this podcast offers a forum for people to get to know one another and be inspired. Our hope is that the stories of these Church Folx will empower you to share your stories to inspire others and be part of beloved community together.
