solful ministries
Wondering what SOLFUL is really all about? Well, to be perfectly honest, it is about loving our neighbors in Fullerton, without reserve or condition. It is about our own opportunities to grow deeper with Jesus, to see where God is moving in our neighborhoods and join in. It is about building relationships. Tangibly, it looks like organized chaos of the most exciting variety. Throughout these 6 weeks of summer, you will see activities taking place around the city. Here is a brief overview of what will be going on:
