About Patria Church Hiking
The goal of Patria Church Hiking is to help fellow hikers grow in their walk with Jesus with the support of like-minded hikers. We believe life is better when we do life together in community.
We support this goal through monthly hikes and other impromptu events such as enjoying lunch together after a hike when the opportunity presents itself. All hiking and other group activities will be posted on this site.
