Church Initiative

Facing Forever is produced by Church Initiative, a nondenominational, nonprofit ministry serving nearly 20,000 churches worldwide. From its headquarters in Wake Forest, North Carolina, the ministry creates and publishes video-based curriculum to help churches minister to people facing life crises and struggling with life’s toughest questions.
