Shalom seeks the Shalom of the community in Clarkston where is the most diverse square mile in the United States.
I am because we are. This is my hope and dream, that we experience God’s love and peace in our lives, and continue to seek the Shalom of Clarkson, Georgia, for then each and every one will find shalom.
