With Saturday as the official EFC North Grand Opening launch, EFC Newport’s new staff is working tirelessly to prepare for a successful and celebratory event.

Pastor Paul Hoffman broke away from the busyness to join WUN’s Ryan Belmore on What’s Up Newp Radio Edition on WADK 1540AM today to chat about EFC North and more.
