This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is,
and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.”
Jeremiah 6:16
In Scripture, we encounter the God who speaks.
He promises to guide His people –
and we can be certain that He will keep that promise.
Welcome to Huron Shores Fellowship!
We are glad that you are here.
