Greetings Fruitful Life Family, Friends and Followers:

As you know, Fruitful Life is a community of Seekers, Students and Servants.

Every week we gather for Soul Care and Spiritual Wellness Support, Intercessory Prayer, and Searching & Learning through Biblical Counsel and Coaching. 

In April we celebrated the 4th anniversary of our STEP Forward Life Institute.

We posted a commemorative blog about it at  https://chrisandcarolgreen.blogspot.com/2025/04/step-forward-life-institute-marks-4.html

Fruitful Living Monthly Connections (March 2025)

 

Greetings Fruitful Life Family, Friends and Followers:

As you know, Fruitful Life is a community and ministry of soul care and spiritual wellness for all of us who are facing battles and struggles in mental, emotional, physical, financial, occupational, or relationship challenges; or simply working through life's many setbacks and sidetracks. We are overcoming together as we turn to God and coming alongside others who will listen, offer support, and pray with us through the journey. 

In March we revisited our emphasis and vision casting that focuses on building people instead of obtaining and beautifying buildings. You’ll find those videos and links at:

As you know, Fruitful Life is a community and ministry of soul care and spiritual wellness for all of us who are facing battles and struggles in mental, emotional, physical, financial, occupational, or relationship challenges; or simply working through life's many setbacks and sidetracks.
