Euouard and his wife Sophia founded the French Church in 2017 to provide a place of worship for a growing French community in Boone County, Ky. The church has grown to a few hundred active members since its inception and focuses on building strong Christian families and serves the community through various programs such as food assistance and helping immigrants navigate social institutions and get established in the community. They believe in the transformative power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and emphasize faith, prayer, and leading and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Inspired by Joel 2:28, the church embraces the promise of God’s Spirit being poured out on all people: "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions."
