“Venture Church is not offering a reward,” said Fairley. “However, we would like to invite anyone seeking something more life-changing than any earthly reward to join us for one of our Sunday worship experiences offered across four campuses throughout South Mississippi.”

The church is located in the 4100 block of Lincoln Road.
