Columbia, Mo. — Columbia Faith & Values (ColumbiaFAVS.com) will hold its second walking tour of downtown houses of worship Oct. 12 and Oct. 19, 2013. The new tour includes an expanded list of venues, including First Christian Church, Second Baptist Church and the Islamic Center of Central Missouri.
Come and learn about a diverse group of buildings, each with its own distinct history, art and architecture. Editor Kellie Kotraba will be your guide, and at each stop, you’ll hear from an expert – someone who attends that particular house of worship and can share an insider’s perspective on its significance.
